Hey Grumpy, thank you for that excellent post. I really had no idea that muslim extremists were involved in terrorist activities decades and decades ago. I think we kid ourselves it started with Sept 11th but this goes way way back. Some people deny that this is a huge problem and there are alot of extremists out there and not just a few. Seeing the riots and bombings going on now is very scary for me for Americans and your allies in foreign countries. It was sad to see Ambassador Christopher Smith killed on the anniversary of Sept 11. This silliness about a short video is not the reason for all the anti american hatred. It is revenge for bin laden and the acting leader of al quida that was killed recently that is behind this. I wondered why they didnt do anything on the 10th anniversary but it is now evident they were planning this. These extremists dont fade out they are like cancer and grow and spread and corrupt other muslims to join them. Thanks for the info grumpy. Margie
