We have many Americans who are Muslim. He mentioned the Bible, The Torah and the Koran. What is the issue here?

If you don't know, you haven't been paying attention.

American muslims' deafening silence after 911 suggests something.
Neither Jews nor Christians are beheading people, chopping them up with machetes daily and worldwide.
Neither Christians nor Jews are flying airliners into skyscrapers, nor parking massive car bombs near night clubs and hotels.
Islam did not, as far as I know, debate nor endorse the silly "freedom of religion thing" at the founding of our republic.

Other than that, you're right. There's no issue, there.

Not at all true - Large Muslim community here in Dearborn, MI and many have been very outspoken in support of America while at the same time showing scorn for those in Al Qeade as well as the Saddam regime. Just because the MSM isn't feeding you these types of stories doesn't mean they aren't happening?? - Or do you also allow the MSM to spin on how well our WOT is going as well?

President GWB gave a perfect address today that was 100% right on!

Jews and Christians around the world do horrible things every day. All of mankind has its bad actors.

People have pointed out many times that the Koran advocates the killing of apostates, and when the mullahs in charge of intrepreting the religon get to say who those apostates are, well...no wonder more of them aren't vocalizing much against the jihadis that are giving them a bad name.

And...lest you forget, a lot of these countries that are producing the jihadis aren't exactly bastions of free speech, so how are they going to get a message of tolerance towards "infidels" out in the first place? They'll get thrown in jail, have fatwas issued against them or be killed.

I'm not trying to excuse it, just give what seems to me a rational explanation for not hearing from more folks. A lot of folks of ANY faith don't have the courage to stand up against zealots who kill without compunction or remorse...especially when those zealots have a lot of power. And the Muslims in America that are always getting the press are the ones that generate the most ink...why does the press (in any country!)always show the most extreme on any issue? Because it sells!!
