For the past 100 years, Muslims have lived and worked peacefully in this country. They've also served in our nation's military, even died for their country.

Every Muslim is not a hater, and this I think is especially true of American Muslims.

Stick with what you "think". Brush aside suggestions to do more reading. If you do not read the book I suggested (or others- or just spend some time reading what comes out in the mosques and rallies in Dearborn) then you will remain blissfully confident .... in what you think.

At least you will be in the majority of what most Americans "think", for now. That what muslims hear in their mosques, and read in their Koran are different than what they think.

That the American muslims of "100 years ago" are the same as the ones growing up here, and emigrating here, now.

That American muslims are willing to die to defend individual liberties such as full integration of women into society and other individual freedoms- that their children can love and marry Christians and jews, drink booze, porn, that Americans are free to stomp on the koran or ridicule prophet Mohamed. That American muslims alone among muslims, will die to defend dark but inevitable vices of individual freedom and free choice, especially in spiritual belief or nonbelief.

That they are good citizens willing to join the military and to defend America's allies. Including Israel.

That they are peaceful contented assimiliated citizens like the university-educated sons of the muslims who were born and raised in Britain and those who are being born and raised in France and northern Europe.

zook, the snow ball of clashing civilizations is heading downhill ever more rapidly and will soon be impossible to ignore as an aberration. Hopefully for America at least, before it becomes an avalanche.
