Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities...

a P.J. O'Rourke quote From "Holidays in Hell":

He looked at me and said, "Why do you think that [the Arab world and the United States] have such difficult relations?
The true answer would have been "Because one by one and man to man, you Arabs are the salt of the earth. But get you in a pack and shove a Koran down your pants, and you act like a foot locker full of glue-sniffing civet cats."
We're a frank people, we Americans, but not quite that frank. I decided to blame it on Paul Newman. "It's because of the movie 'Exodus'," I said. "Exodus was a very popular movie, and ever since it came out everyone in America thinks that everyone in Israel is kind and good and looks like Paul Newman."

Another fav PJ O'R quote...

"Giving money and power to the government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenaged boys"
