I have also found that my liberal leanings have been eroded by muslim terrorism in the world today. I mean almost all terrorism in modern times is committed by muslims screaming "Allu Akbar" and then blowing themselves up. Sure you do get the isolated Jew or Christian doing it but they are the exception (and are typically sent to jail for life, unlike muslims who are rewarded by governments); most terrorism is islamic today. I believe that israel is facing a terrorist threat, and that moderate muslims have no voice and are not able to do anything at this time. I also think that many are passive beleivers in what the jidaists are doing, so they keep quiet anyway.
