This sounds encouraging to me. I hope it gets some publicity.

Your comment made me think of John Kerry.

>>"What about Mideastern people living among us?"<<

>>Now, finally, after three years of hard work since the tragedy of 9/11, another face of Mideastern Americans is surging to the forefront.<<

>> Today in the United States, thousands of Americans of Middle East descent are joining forces to answer the anxious questions of their neighbors: "Yes we are fully Americans and we feel this is our country which we love and want to defend against Terrorists," said the organizers of a historic conference to take place in Washington DC on Friday October 1, 2004<<

To:Walid Phares,

If it took you 3 years and 20 days to realize you "are fully Americans and we feel this is our country which we love and want to defend against Terrorists", you are NOT fully American!

Americans were enraged the moment we realize this was a terrorist attack. We were ready to go to war to defend our country instantly. We did not hide from our enemies as you have done.

Why you did not immediately offer your speech translation services for free to the local, state and federal authorities is something I will never forget. So, as far as I am concerned, you are the people who do not deserve our protection from the Middle Eastern dictators. I will always view you with deserved suspicion.

Yes, I do call the authorities if I feel the slightest suspicion when I see a group of you gathered together in public because I feel that I cannot trust you.

(Walid Phares is a Professor of Middle East Studies and Religious Conflict and a Terrorism expert with MSNBC.)

Do not be suckered in by a smile or polite manners from a ME deviate.

"Millions of Lebanese around the world are standing with the United States against Terrorism," wrote the authors.

Yeah.. just don't ask us to get rid of the Hezbullah on our border with Israel...

"A Mid East American Revolution Is Coming"

4 And Jesus answered them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: 8 all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs. 9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away, and betray one another, and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because wickedness is multiplied, most men's love will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.

That last verse is the "Revolution". That's the only thing that will bring it, not the platitudes of guilt stricken Arabs.

It is encouraging to see people of mid-eastern origin organizing to encourage the fight against terror.

Many people on this forum have asked "Where are the moderate Muslims?" Now, as they are organizing and overcoming the enormous disadvantage of not having Saudi Wahhibi money to build mosques and organization, we should welcome them to our side, not disparage them because of their origins and religion.

It is a crucial part of the War on Terror, that Muslims of good will find us as an ally. The anti-Muslim comments on this topic aid our enemies who are constantly attempting to define the War on Terror as a War against Muslims.

It'll be difficult to accept their sincerity for a good while. They've taken too long to provide an appropriate response, and there's too much whining and exaggerated pathos from American Muslims about the alleged violation of their civil rights.

We should be willing to be openminded with these groups and to see whether they follow-through with any sort of pro-American response to the Wahabbi influence.

Are they the ummah, or are they Americans?

Feeling mighty skeptical. Turn over the terrorists hiding among you. You know who they are. Right now you're just making the noises you think we want to hear to keep the heat off.

...enemies who are constantly attempting to define the War on Terror as a War against Muslims.

The reason it looks that way is because people are starting to realize that Islam in and of itself is the problem. It is an imperialistic religion, and it demands that the entire world submit to it, and this causes conflict on a world scale, from Chechnya to Kuala Lumpur.

I too am glad to see M.E. Americans standing up and proclaiming their allegiance to the US. It's long overdue. I wish that they had done so before, so that I might more readily trust them. M.E. Americans would be wise to do everything they can to establish their allegiance to the US before another attack occurs.

This is a world war against imperialist Islam. Let's all get straight on that fact, OK? If the nature of Islam does not change from within, the war will continue until either Islam, or western civilization, is destroyed.

That's all very nice, but when are they going to get around to actually DOING something?

When is one of these groups going to start killing terrorists?

I agree.. Not all muslims support the terrorist. We are at war with a bunch of people who has hijacked a religion.

I disagree. As the story said, these are the people who provide the bulk of our translation and intelligence in the Arab world.
