What Ledbetter said, except his comment about Islam.

Hate DEFINES Islam.

The difference between fundamentalist Islam and ordinary Islam is eyewash for Americans who are always willing to believe the best about people, despite the evidence. It sounds good, but it's not even close to true.

Muslims who do not want 'infidel' blood in the streets exist, but they are a small and persecuted minority. Espousing such views can get you executed in most Islamic countries.
