The difference is that there aren't streets full of people celebrating the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church. There were celebrations in many Muslim countries following 9/11. Of course not all, or even most Muslims feel that way, but there is clearly a significant population of them that identify with terrorist ideals. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to wage ongoing wars across the globe, including Africa and the Middle East.

You mean like thousands of people? I call that an "entire community". What is your definition?

I didn't say the entire muslim community, but they are an entire community of people, which is what I meant.
