It's a matter of numbers. What percentage of Catholics does the IRA represent, as opposed to the percentage of Muslims that the terrorist cells represent? How many Catholics celebrated in the streets on 9-11 vs. how many Arabs/Muslims did? It's been two years since 9-11. Bush has issued two Ramadan greetings and I don't know how many Islam is peace statements. And yet, anti-Americanism and anti-semitism among Arabs/Muslims is more, not less, pervasive.
It looks like the Evil One did:
"President Bill Clinton, a member in good standing of a Southern Baptist Convention Church, offered Ramadan greetings on the White House Web site (1/1/00 World). He said: 'As the followers of Islam celebrate the revelation of God's word to Muhammad, we join you in honoring his call for harmony and peace.'"
