[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5631789, member: 24302"] Did I tell you Islam is wonderful? I think it's without a doubt the wrong path to God. But in the run up to invasion after 9/11 a lot of people were saying, myself included, that a large percentage of Muslims are willing to physically attack us, and most of the rest are supportive of that. There's definitely a significant percentage willing but I believe that varies from country to country, and often region to region within a country. The two countries I visited are nominally Muslim but some there are very observant. I saw men with the traditional garb and beards, and even more in Western clothing. Some women were covered head to toe, but a lot more wore Western clothes. They were very friendly to me, at least the ones in Western gear. The few who were openly unpleasant were mostly of the ethnic Russian minority. At any rate I felt more welcome there than most places I've been. [/QUOTE]
