Barack Hussein Obama sent an emissary (Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough) to Sterling VA, to a Mosque attended by the Muslim community there, because he's worried that Muslims are being unfairly 'targeted' as extremists. It seems that (FINALLY!) we've some investigations into why it's so easy for American Muslims to be radicalized using Islam, the Koran, as a terrorist tool.

Some LeftLibProggs wonder why we don't include other religions in this quest for answers? Other than to allay their need to exude 'political correctness', why should we? Peter King (R, NY, House Homeland Security Chairman) puts it bluntly...

In New York, 500 people demonstrated near Times Square to protest the hearings and to call on Mr. King to expand his witness list to include other groups.

“That’s absolute nonsense,” Mr. King said in a telephone interview, adding that Al Qaeda was trying to radicalize Muslims and that its effort was the leading homegrown terrorism threat.

“The threat is coming from the Muslim community,” he said, “the radicalization attempts are directed at the Muslim community. Why should I investigate other communities?”

Just so. There's no Christians, Jews or Buddhists strapping on bomb belts and going all splodeydope; only Mohammedeans flew planes into the twin towers. Why should we wast time looking at other, truly peaceful, religions?

It seems that the religion in question, Islam, is the only major religion left on this planet that hasn't undergone modernization (a process of reformation). Muhammed was a warrior first, and in writing the Koran, he desired a tool by which to control (by force, if necessary) a large group of people with as few 'leaders' as possible: a top-down controlling structure. He 'wrote out' any possible 'weaker' viewpoints by diminishing the role of women and subjugating them to the iron rule of men (and boys). Christianity and Judaism are far removed from their 'violent', controlling roots (such as they were); Islam hasn't changed since it's creation.

The Muslim community needs a tiny push from the modern world to undergo reformation from within. Can this happen? In order to pull the extremist's teeth, and make this particular faith a true 'Religion of Peace', a reformation process is necessary and overdue.
