Re: How badly is the US inciting Islamic hatred against itself?
[ QUOTE ]
Radical Islam is the primary threat to world peace now. And if some apologists for Islam maintain that really isn't what the majority of Moslems believe, then that can only be proven by that supposed majority firmly and constantly speaking out and acting against the Islamic radicals/terrorists.

That's no more true than claiming your poisition can only be supported if the majority constantly speak out in favour of Islamic radicals/terrorists.
One problem imo with US policy and British policy is that its acted in a way that makes it easier for extremists to thrive within otherwise more moderate communities and pushed people to become more extreme.
If we're not going to take an ethical approcah and try to maintain some moral high ground and win hearts and minds then the alternative is unpleasent but competent foreign policy - almost the complete opposite of the Iraq fiasco.
