Absolutely untrue....He said "many"--you said "most". The difference is huge.

MANY people are ignorant, uninformed, and just plain don't care. But they do pay attention when threatened---but only long enough for some politician to either "fix" the problem or to simply show the uninformed who they can blame it on. Then they return to their vegetative state.

I think it was Fareed Zakaria who commented that islamic terrorism would fade away because---at the core--Islam does not condone it.

despite the fact that he said many, I have to agree w/ poetics that most people are uninformed. However, being uninformed is no excuse for being passivly racist. The short answer tends to be that people are sheep, and will follow anyone who's charismatic enough to appeal to the masses. Not to be offensive to anyone here.

Closed. This is far too inflammatory a subject and is much further off-topic than even General allows. I do hope you didn't register just to post this question.
