I'm not going to register with the L.A. Times just to finish the article. What is the reason for their distress? The "violence" is being committed by lunatics who are using the Muslim faith as a basis for their actions. Are they going to condem these killers and demand their elimination? If so good for them. If they are just hand wringing and whining forget about them.
It's a bit of a challenge to find time to summon sympathy for Muslim "CRYBABIES" who can't understand why innocent citizens of the USA, women,children the aged and infirm are the declared targets for extermination by Muslim Terrorists.
If you are still bothered perhaps you should consider leaving. When violence breaks out, you will not be accorded special or protected status because you have not condemned the monsters among you. You are tacitly supporting the GWOT.
You will be treated accordingly.
I guess we're supposed to feel sorry for them?
They should thank God that they live in the US and not at the Middle East.
Let God judge what Muslims did in the past, suggests Maher Hathout, senior advisor to the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
"We cannot be buried in a big graveyard called the past," he said. "We have to negotiate our future and improve our present."
For American Muslims, that means looking for ways to influence U.S. policy, he said.
"As an American I feel that our policy needs to be questioned," he said. To do that, he said, Muslim Americans need to hold their government accountable.
But Torrance physician Nazir U. Khaja, chairman of the Islamic Information Service, said that even as Muslim Americans speak up and hold their government accountable, they need to remember the power of prayer.
