    Read the newspapers, watch TV. It seems almost daily there are peace loving Moslems being slaughtered by Moslem extremists because they dare to live peacebly with their neighors who may not be extremists. At the latest count 10’s of thousands of innocents have died at Moslem extremist hands. It would interesting if the innocents suddenly were armed and willing to shoot back and did!!
