I'll take Huckabee over Palin any day, but I most definitely don't dislike her. I voted for her, not McCain.
What you fail to realize is that in Islam, the term fanatic and fundamentalist are interchangeable. There is no reason to fear people who simply call themselves Muslim if they don't live by the Qur'an; it's the ones that do that you need to fear.
Barack Obama's apostate status is actually what Muslims would deem punishable by death, yet the "fanatics" you speak of embrace him because he allows them to pursue their own agenda. These extremist groups don't give a crap if they can get something out of it. Don't you find that a little odd?...Obama is by no means the reason for all of this, but he and the far left that run the country allow it to continue.
I strongly believe you will alter your opinion on all of this in years to come.
