Agreed. I've seen some Muslims who have made me nervous, but I consider myself a pretty good judge of people, and I've met Muslims who I could not imagine supporting terrorism any more than any other American. There are a lot of genuinely apolitical and often non-observant Muslims in this country.
Atta and Co. tried to act Western at times, but they didn't do a very good job at it: they were clearly arrogant, sexist a**holes (IOW, Islamists.)
I don't see the Turkish doctor and his wife who I met over drinks at my cousin's house (they're close friends of his), the Emirati resident assistant at my college dorm who I used to hang out and watch movies with, the Pakistani classmate I tutored in chemistry, or his attractive younger sister, as threats.
Granted, I never talked politics with them, but I knew that they did not regard me as an "infidel" or wish ill to the country they had adopted as their home, and I can't see them being represented by CAIR, let alone supporting UBL and Co.
"Muslims" who don't really believe in Islam aren't really a problem, are they? It's a bit of a red herring to say that an example "Muslim" who pretty clearly rejects central Islamic doctrines (e.g., "Dar al-Harb") is typical.
I hear what you're saying; lots of us have muslim acquaintances, most of whom probably are as you say "apolitical," but SOMEbody is sending wads of money through CAIR back to terrorist organizations in the Mideast.
Who could that be?
Most of the Iraqis and other such I was acquainted with I met in grad school; I've never seen a bigger bunch of liars, cheats, and generally worthless individuals, particularly at exam time: the "honor" system means nothing to people who have no concept of what the word honor means.
