You keep waving the muslim flag and doing your little dance for them but until muslims in America start behaving like they are part of this country instead of just here your audience will be yourself.

Where is the outrage in the American Muslim community?
Two years after 9/11, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the American Muslim Council (AMC), the Muslim Students Association (MSA) and similar groups are still respectfully regarded as the voices of American Muslims, despite the fact that members of these organizations have been apologists for extremism and even linked to terrorist groups. Almost no one - Muslim or non-Muslim - dares criticize these groups for their positions or their associations.
What's more, these groups shamelessly attack, demean and attempt to intimidate Muslims who are loyal to this great nation. They continue to attempt to persuade American Muslims to view themselves not as patriots but as victims.
Muslim community newspapers are silent about these issues. They write nothing about the MSA-directed groups that stage anti-American rallies, attack people who speak out about the pernicious activities of the Saudis, or simply challenge the talking points of the establishment Muslim groups on anything taking place in the Arab and Islamic worlds.
In particular, proud Muslims who are also proud Americans need to tell the truth about Wahhabism, the intolerant and militant brand of Islam being exported from Saudi Arabia and which is defended in the United States by CAIR, AMC and MSA.
I know about these issues firsthand. As a Muslim student at Arizona State University who abhors Wahhabism, I've been the victim of MSA's hate campaigns. For my efforts in organizing a "Support our Troops" rally the day that Operation Iraqi Freedom started, I was told by several MSA members that I was "going to hell." In a Letter to the Editor in the campus paper, the president of the MSA even accused me of being guilty of bigotry toward Arabs and Muslims. In his view, it was anti-Muslim of me to want to see Iraqi Muslims liberated from the oppression of Saddam Hussein, who has murdered more Muslims than anyone else in this century, and perhaps in any century.
Terrorism has not been far from the Arizona State University campus. On May 9, a Saudi student at ASU, Muhammad Al-Gurashi, was arrested; he had been the driver who escorted convicted terrorist supporter Faisal Al-Salmi to President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch on what were apparently reconnaissance missions.
"Are you a muslim?"
NO! And what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Me, I stand with the President. who do you stand with? The KKK.
Your muslim apologist postings of the occassional self-serving editorial by some local muslim means nothing. When your boys actively join the WOT intead of obstructing our LE Org efforts then you'll have something to talk about.
I don't trust muslims. I have no reason to. And, as I've said in the past, I know too much about how the "average" guy in the mosque road blocks our legal efforts to feel comfortable with them. To you that makes me a KKKer...pretty stupid.
