"For Muslims, a Beleaguered Feeling"
boo-freakin-hoo
At least Muslims aren't being terrorized by Christians the world-over. Too bad the opposite isn't true.

American Muslims believe that the U.S. government has contributed to the deepening of anti-Muslim sentiment by treating them more as foes than allies in the war against terrorism. Actually, the pro-US muslims are so rare that Americans get positively giddy when they find one. Try speaking up for your adopted country, try sending your sons down to the recruiting station and find out just how friendly Americans can be.

"The Los Angeles-based Muslims Public Affairs Council has expressed disappointment that no American Muslims were included in the drafting of the federal 9/11 Commission report..."And some of us are "disappointed" the President wasn't joking when he referred to Islam as a "Religion of Peace."

Echoing other Muslims, Magid said he fears that there is "some element in the [Bush] administration intent on dismantling Muslim organizations and bringing them down. . . . It's very disturbing." Sounds right encouraging to me. Git 'er done!

The Beslan massacre is the lowest of the lowest. The Muslim have no one to blame but themselves.

hmm.... it would be kind of funny to bring lots food (donuts, bagels, etc) into the office everyday durning ramadamadingdong or whatever this silly holiday is. Bet the muslims in the office would appreciate it. Maybe even plan some group lunches.

In the months following 9/11 Americans went on a spending spree buying books relating to Islam and life in the Middle East.
Osama Bin Laden was reported to have been convinced that this was the start of the Islamization of America. Why else would all those Americans be so interested in Islam?
What he didn't understand was that Americans wanted to better understand their enemy.
Before 9/11 Islam was looked at by Americans as a beign desert religion steeped in mysticism. That all changed after Americans delved into the heart of Islamic religion.
Muslims today are just as ignorant about the feelings of the average American toward Islam as Osama Bin Laden was. Americans better understand the nature of Islam today, and as a result they see muslims as enemies of Western civilization.
Muslims have a right to be afraid as long as they hold onto every belief as written in the Quran.

To make them feel better lets have a National Take a Muslim to lunch day next week. I know some great places for pork sandwiches.

The local ABC affiliate flashed a Ramadan greeting. I took it as a Homeland Security alert.
