What's the Religion of Peace Up To Today?

My boss just brought me two pieces of news copy about violence by Muslims in Afghanistan and asked whether I was doing the story. I pointed out that they were two different stories in two different parts of the country. "Oh." That piqued my curiosity, so I did a quick search of the wires.

Yeah, well, you get the idea. And it's still early! Keep in mind that there is nothing unusual about today. This kind of violence happens every, single day. In fact, a lot of Muslim violence is so commonplace that it's rarely reported anymore. For instance, I'm sure somone was killed in southern Thailand, since it's a daily occurrance. There are several Muslim gangs in the southern Philippines that wreak havoc every day. I'm sure Malaysian Muslims are plotting something. Etc., etc., etc.. Why isn't every country in the world trying to wipe this barbaric culture from the face of the earth?
