These organizations in the US include people who have been arrested for aiding terrorists.I had no problems with muslims.They do seem to have a problem with the US and it takes more than wishing to make it better.

Hmmm...interesting comment. Sounds like you've surredered. Seems to me THEY don't want to play nice with us.

How do you 'get along' with people who think that Allah has told them to KILL YOU!?! Please let me know, I would love to know, really. In fact, your answer is the key to this entire war! Your wisdom on this subject could save the lives of billions, potentially. After all, the rest of humanity has been trying to figure this out since the 7th century. So, please, elaborate.

Um, no Byron, we are going to have to get along with the peaceful Muslims. Big difference.

In my experience of reading the Koran AND the Hadith (which I doubt more than a handful of non-Muslims have) it is clear that the impetus of Islam is toward violence, slavery, and oppression. Now, that certainly doesn't mean all Muslims favor such things---nor do all Catholics practice birth control and all Baptists refrain from drinking. But it does say that we can really only deal with those who have either become sufficiently "secularized" or "westernized" so the Koran means no more to them than a Bible does to a Unitarian (and there are many such people) or those Muslims who are fundamentally ignorant of their own holy books (as are, perhaps, a majority of "Christians").

But they do have to get along with us too. And we do have principles that we have to defend.

Jehova Witnesses personally annoy me but I'd be very much angered if one should be beaten simply for distributing the Watchtower, much less have his property confiscated or hanged.

And I think this would be the expected result of any non-Islamic proseltyzing in the Moslem world.

True. BUT there are some Muslim org. out there (CAIR comes to mind) who do a disservice to America, Muslims, and conservatives.
