For every "christian" who would kill in the name of the God there are probably 1,000 Muslims who would kill in the name of the allah. Hell, maybe even 10,000. It would be great if we knew which muslims in the ME were extremists and which were not. I guess what really kills me about this is while we "can not" show apprehension towards Muslims, because hey, they are not all "like that" it is perfectly acceptable to make broad generalizations about lets say southerner, they are all inbred, or Americans, they are all rich assholes, or white people, they all want to see minorities held down. If you are a minority you are off limits from reasonable discretion or criticism, but if you are white, or in a position of prosperity its open fucking season, shit or Jewish for that matter. We're too worried about being called a racist or a facist or whatever that we are willing to throw caution to the wind and hope that we won't get attacked again. We've turned into a bunch of pussies.

(1) Whether or not it is 'culturally acceptable' to make sweeping generalizations about Muslims, southerners or anyone else, it is stupid to do so.
(2) I would be interested if, as a corollary to your study, you researched what percentage of Muslims live in impoverished conditions or under despotic regimes, as compared to what percentage of Christians do.
