What about the Christians who live in Arabic speaking lands and use Arab language gospels? Who is their God?
You ought to think about this a bit before you start denying Christians their God.

None of this prevents Muslims from being good Democrats.

I do too...to a man, they are intelligent, hardworking, affable, and love the United States. They also happen to be really lousy "Muslims." They never read the Qu'ran. They don't pray to Mecca. They don't go to the mosque. In fact, the only resemblance they have to Muslims is that they are from a particular country. They are Muslims like Ted Kennedy is a Catholic.

The lone Jihadist in NC went off simply because he was a good Muslim.

Point is, that many muslims in this country KNOW the USA is the best hope for them, and the only hope to force reform in their homelands.
The Kurds of Seattle dancing in the streets after the fall of Baghdad saying God Bless George Bush are but one example.

The post is about Muslims, not Arabs.
There are Christian Arabs, but no Christian Muslims.

I don't understand your point. I'm not saying that I agree with his, but how is it that Middle Eastern Muslims reading the Koran in Arabic is the same as Middle Eastern Christians reading the Bible in Arabic. They're two different books.

So then, based on these areguments, catholics can not be good americans and patriots?

They are practicing Muslims like Ted Kennedy is a practicing Catholic.Not to pick a nit.
To: pissant
You can extract precepts of the Christian faith, especially Catholicism, and conclude that adherence to the religion foreclosed patriotism.
It was only in the 1960's that many in the U.S. believed that the Pope was ready to rule America if Kennedy won the election.

That's really the point.
It's the Muslims that actually read and believe the Koran
and the Hadiths...
and then "put their faith into action" that are a danger.
Lapsed and/or apostate Muslims are generally not a problem.
Of course, a few of them get killed before they can escape to havens.
Like the USA.

Not so for some of the ones I've met. I've never met a more anti-mullah person in my life than 2 Iranians I worked with. And I currently work with a devout Pakistani, who abhores Bin Laden and was very disgusted by the whole BS cartoon protests.

Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both good Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish...it's still the truth. If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with the above, perhaps you will share this with your friends. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country.I wouldn't insult the intelligence of my friends by sending this e-mail to them, and I certainly wouldn't disgrace myself and my family by doing so either. To paint every single Muslim with the same brush is wrong, IMHO.

Your point is?Does that mean because you won't trust "several very, very patriotic Americans", you would then choose to distrust ALL patriotic Americans? Something to think about. :)
