But when you broaden the accusation to "Islam" I cannot follow you.

I sincerely don't understand what you mean here.
Let me try again. It's not like I'm saying that Islam per se is a terrorist cult. (Andrew Sullivan's remarks alluded to that however) I 'll stipulate that I AM being quite harsh and saying that some Muslims have perverted the religion to a point where they're using the religion to create and indoctrinate terrorists. Part 2 of my accusation is that little is being done by "moderate" Islamic leaders to combat this. I'm saying little, not nothing. And part 3 is that societies like Saudi Arabia actively support "religious" schools that foment hatred of the West and spawn anti-western terrorists. The Saudi Kings do this to distract rebellion away from themselves. The West is their scapegoat. No big problem to us directly until it cost us 3,000 lives on 911.
