First off, I'll just say that women are not circumcised (or circusised!) except maybe in some African nations. They are not required to be, either.
Sure, terrorists *are* a threat, but the thing people need to understand is that what they are doing is not Islam - yes, that's an old argument, but have you read the Quran? No. I haven't read the Bible, so I can't accuse all Christians of being (*insert_something_here*).
Islam isn't the threat - the organizations claiming to do these things in the name of Islam are, and we all know their names, don't we? ;)
Muslims are too divided into sects and minor differences to actually follow the religion and what it teaches. The average Muslim person, I would say as a wild estimate, only follows about 5% of Islam per day.
And as for the radicals that are the real problem, generalizing and condemning Islam as a whole is fuel to the fire. People like that politician from Denmark who made the movie come to mind - can't recall his name... Gert Wilders?
