Note that that snopes article can only directly say that the event  in 
question was wrong, its feeble attempt to refute the notion of "jihad" 
just doesn't hold water.

There are a few facts that can't be argued with:
- Muslims do routinely kill non-Muslims for no particular reason.
- Muslims routinely commit suicide in the process.
- These events take place all over the world in essentially all of the 
various factions of the religion.
- Those who purport to speak for Islam routinely call for the killing of 
non-believers.
- No Muslim publicly disagrees with these "spokesmen" or offers a 
different message.
- No Muslim seems to be bothered that these "spokesmen" claim to 
represent all of Islam.
- When Muslims kill non-believers, no other Muslims condemn the act.
- When Muslims kill non-believers, Muslims all over the world routinely 
cheer, take to the streets in celebration, and go on global television 
to bless the event.
- The stewards of various Mosques all over the world routinely raise 
funds, provide services to, and even give direct assistance to Muslims 
whose stated purpose is the killing of non-believers.

(Did I miss anything?)

George Rodham-Bush may think Islam is a religion of peace. But no other 
thinking person does.

Until these alleged billions of peaceful, tolerant Muslims start doing 
something about their very violent and hateful brethren, then I see no 
realistic option but to assume they at least tacitly support it. To-date 
they have, in the entirety, been utterly silent.
