Who is a bigger threat to our security:  Muslim Extremists or Republicans?

Republicans, they are much more of a threat to our way of life. Muslim extremists can be dealt with, American extremism is far more insidious.

By and far the Republican Party has used 9/11 as a prop to sell this bullshit War on Terror.  And republicans are so backwards they don't realize that we are giving up freedoms in this war to defend it.

Muslims are NOT bad... the muslim extremists are... There's a HUGE difference....\n\nMost muslims are wonderful, peaceful people... it truly is a shame that they have such a terrible reputation because of a few bad apples...

All extremists???? Definitely no. JIHAD is a "Holy War" they had launched. It won't stop. It's too inappropriate to say, but it is the same thing as "Hatred". It may even go on for generation. . . The only means to stop this is for the whole Islamic Community all over the world of moderate ideas to unite and SEND A STRONG MESSAGE and convince their extremists brothers that US has genuine intentions for the good of people in Iraq. They will listen to them because they have high regards to their elders. They will never listen to the others and to the bullets, rockets, missiles, etc.. (you name it). These extremists are very much willing to die for their belief.

The "Muslim extremists" have no set agenda that they know of. They are only duped and hoodwinked into following orders from a charismatic leader with a gift for gab.\n\nTake Muhammad Ali as one of the most familiar Muslims in America. Just like Martin Luther King Jr., he has no idea what he is talking about. You only need to count how many natural born kids they have to see that they are self-appointed gods determined to take over the world by their descendants. And if means the entire planet will behave like Eddi Amin, welcome to the neighborhood!

Not afraid of them.  Worried about the Extremist Christians we have in our political system.  Hopefully some other group will come along and make them worry as well.

less safe. Radical muslims who didn't hate us before hate us now. Terrorists were virtually non-existant in Iraq before we invaded, now Iraq is a training ground.\n\nedit: More of the neo-con talking point "they hate us for our freedom". How about "they hate us for our indiscriminate use of overwhelming power, political, and economic dominance and our support of repressive regimes, like Israel and Saudi Arabia"? It has nothing to do with our freedom or our way of life.\n\nMaybe I didn't make my point clear - More Muslims hate us now than before we invaded a soverign nation.  Yes, some Muslims have hated us for over 30 years because of our unconditional support of Israel over the Palestinians. Now there are more hating us because of the Iraq invasion. More hatred = more terrorists.\n\nThere are other countries that are in flagrant violation of UN resolutions, like Turkey, Israel, and the Soviet Union. Would you condone US action against them, too?\n\nLook at Saudi Arabia, where most of the 9/11 hijackers came from.  Saudi Arabia contributed $5 billion to Iraq's nuclear weapons program between 1985 and 1990. While the U.S. government vocally opposes the development or procurement of ballistic missiles by non-allies, it has been very quiet about the fact that Saudi Arabia possesses the longest-range ballistic missiles of any developing country. Saudi Arabia is working closely with Pakistan to advance their nuclear program. This scares me a hell of a lot more than Iraq did.

the leading terrorist group in this country right now is the Republican Party.

Mr. Shakeel, I advise you to read more and to stop resorting to attacking your opponents just like Bin Laden and Bush.\n\nCheck this out http://www.piratesandemperors.com/\n\nthen talk... the world has been hijacked by extremists of all sorts, the most powerful of which is our government, here, the US government.

If I were a terrorist, I, too, would be emboldened by the vote. \n\nGWBush and the majority of Republicans have made their objectives clear - unfortunately, the Democrats have wavered continuously between early withdrawal and outright cut and run.\n\nIraq is the center of the war on terror - all the Muslim nations know this and the terrorists know this - why don't we know this?

No.  First off, it is no Islam that is the threat but the radicals.  Christian religion has the same issues.

I am a life-long Republican and I voted for President Bush but I do not agree with and do not support any of those bible-thumping right wing fanatic hypocrites like Haggard any more than many of the Democrats support the extreme left wingers. These people do not represent either party, hence the title "extremist".\n\nI am not anti-gay and I am not anti gay marriage. I have a problem with the government paying for research that leads to destroying proto-humans to harvest stem cells that have not been proven to help in perfecting cures for debilitating diseases because I think it's creepy, but if pharmaceutical companies want to proceed without federal funding, I would stand in their way.

Just Republicans taking things too far AGAIN.\n\nActually, Republicans are sort of like Islamic Extremists in a way; always pointing the finger at stuff that doesn't really matter at all.\n\nThey were just looking for a Democrat to blame for anything, because their entire party is exploding with controversy.

the greatest difference between religious and non-religious terrorism lies in the fact that religious bigots are able to brianwash the peoples minds on religious pretexts. this has become more dangerous as they see no reason. this is greatest threat from such dirty minds.\nthough terrorism in any shape is unwelcome but in extraneous situations at least other half is able to see reason or give credence to ideas.
