And according to an article in the Washington Post, American's negative perception of Islam is increasing.
As the war in Iraq grinds into its fourth year, a growing proportion of Americans are expressing unfavorable views of Islam, and a majority now say that Muslims are disproportionately prone to violence, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.The poll found that nearly half of Americans -- 46 percent -- have a negative view of Islam, seven percentage points higher than in the tense months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, when Muslims were often targeted for violence.
How could that be? Isn't Islam a religion of peace? Maybe it's because we're treated to pictures of rioting moose-limbs on a daily basis. It's like all the sheetheads know how to do is get offended and then scream "Death to (whoever has offended them)". Maybe if they would grow a thicker skin and join the rest of us in the 21st Century our perceptions would change.
The irony here is that the LSM who wants us to lose in Iraq due to their BDS and wants to push tolerance of the Religion of Peace is actually doing harm to Islam by only showing their barbaric side.

Believe it or not, I have actually been doing what I am getting paid to do here at work, and when I get home, I have been glued to the Military Channel. Trying to break the chains of the damn PC. I sure did miss a lot in my short absence.
