    Just reading the news, the impression that I have today is most American personnel face greater danger from the people they work with rather than the people they are fighting against. Would you confirm that impression as accurate?

    Mind you I work in and around the Embassy in Baghdad. But yes, that threat is very true in Afghanistan. But it was a lot to do with the tactics employed as well. Here in Iraq the sectarian violence is much easier that infiltrating western groups due to our more stringent screening process.

    i have the pleasure of supporting a group of them as clients. They seem like nice guys, but i want to get away from them as fast as i can...I just don't trust them when they start talking in their native tongue in front of me and i stand there saying..."secrets don't make friends boys" and turn around and leave. They get the point real fast that I don't appreciate that bs. Any how, all of them are here on work visas....cheaper then hiring us citizens. I still don't trust em.

    Yeah...not too long ago a Christian woman was beaten, tortured, raped and then murdered with a crusifix sticking out of her mouth. All done by Muslim extremists. Such a friendly bunch.

    The truth about Islam should be a part of the public discussion but people are too busy hiding from the truth and the media aids this ignorance in the hopes that the Islamists will kill the media last.

    Agreed on both counts. That said, Islam ≠ Islamism.
