I'm not sure that is any different that what Obama said of attacking 
Pakistan.

What you read is fairly balanced, I think.  It is a good marker of where 
NON-RADICAL Muslims fall on the bias scale.  You just don't see much 
radical stuff on the site, however. In fact, I would say in the last 6 
months, it has been remarkably quiet over the radical rhetoric of the 
last 5 years. Just my opinion there, nothing scientific, but I do read 
the page at least once a week, more recently.

And btw, Lynn, here is a good example of what I was talking about the 
other day...convert or die..

Here is an interesting page that gives a bit of history on the 
Christians of Iraq.
