GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Reuters) - The family of Paul Johnson, beheaded in Saudi Arabia on Friday by al Qaeda, said the engineer loved the Saudi people and that his killers were extremists who did not represent the kingdom's people.

"They ... know that this act was done by extremists and does not represent the Saudi Arabia that Paul often spoke and wrote about," FBI (news - web sites) Special Agent Joseph Billy, who runs the bureau's Newark office, told reporters.

I wish we could make the people who say "Nuke those Fucking bastards!" understand this.

1. What al Qaeda did is NOT Islam

It is against the Qur'an. But I fear that many assume that all Muslims are like them.

2. The trouble is that the media

only reports the evil side of Islam - not necessarily because they hate Islam (Maybe they do), but because bad news gets better ratings than the shiny happy stuff. So, again, it is all about the BUCK$!

5. I am too late to edit my post above

It reads in a way I did not intend...

Replace "The evil side of Islam" with "about the evil-doers in Islamic culture."

3. On the flip side:

All Americans are like Chimp.

Chilling.

4. At first I did not understand what you are saying,

but I get it...The extremists over there are like our Freepers who think all Americans want all Arabs dead and all Americans are like b*sh...a perfectly good analogy.
