"Except for those Americans who happen to be muslim ..."

Wrong again. Americans who are muslim identify as Muslims FIRST, then as Americans and their loyalty folllows that order.
I would be happier than anyone if fanatic muslims would abandon the ancient precepts of their barbaric religion and join the 21st century, and become loyal Americans FIRST. Our loyalty must be to America first. As a nation, we would not have prevailed otherwise.
"Our loyalty must be to America first."
Oooo watch where you step here... I'm sure there are many here who, if they were forced to choose between their country and their God, would disagree with you.
Most Christians would choose Christ above Washington, dont' you think? Asked to decide between their faith and their country, many people would choose their faith. That was one of the reasons for so much mistrust of Catholics in America--they were seen as having loyalty to the Pope over America.
