When will Islam be about peace?

It seems the more I read the less I can believe that Islam is the religion of peace. It looks like this poor teacher is going to do jail time for naming a teddy bear Mohammed. The radicals have hijacked this religion and some are even calling for her death! All over the name given to a stuffed animal for a class project. . . . and you know how they got the name? They name him after one of the students. . .

These radical are insane and they have once again gotten Islam on the front page around the world not for being a religion but for the insane things being done in its name. How can a bunch of 7 year olds have insulted the prophet when they named a teddy bear after one of there own?

The more these radical get in the news the more I fear this war will go on for years. We are not in a war against Iraq or Afghanistan, but against the thoughts and ideas of the radicals that have grabbed Islam and called it there own.

We will be fighting for a long time I think, until the rational people of Islam step forward and reclaim their religion from these nut cases. Only when they have been able to get things under control, and return Islam to the control of sane people will the rest of the world be able to stand down and our troops be able to come home.

Unfortunately it does not look like this will be happening any time soon. . . .
