Yes, it is a larger problem in Islam right now than it is with Christians or Jews. If you can't see that you are blind.
I am against the Iraq war, I can't stand GWB, and I completely understand there is some causal relationship between western foreign policy and terrorism. The thing is, these kids were Canadian. And the same thing is happening in the UK, and elsewhere. You can't just close your eyes to the fact that many Muslims around the world are being drawn into extremism. And violent extremism at that.
So what's the solution? Obviously we can't outlaw a religion, and we shouldn't. But, maybe its time to closely monitor what's happening at these learning centres. I mean, if there's nothing illegal going on, they have nothing to worry about. The best solution is for the religion to police itself. The muslim community has to take back its religion and be vigilant about what's going on in its ranks. But if that's not happening, what other choice is there? I don't like having to resort to authoritarian methods, but WTF? What else can we do? There is obviously certain trends occuring in the muslim community, and until the community itself starts taking huge steps to eradicate these types of trends, people are naturally going to be skeptical of them.
