What are you counting as a "terrorist act"? Certainly the Klan committed more acts of terrorism in the two decades before 9/11 than Muslims.

Or are you one of those who believe "violence by Muslims" <=> "terrorism">

Hispañola's population was wiped out due to European disease and enslavement; don't blame Roman Catholicism, and especially Christianity for that one. Furthermore, it should be noted that the most prominent forced conversions to Christianity were by the Spanish and Portugeuse in the New World.

The Spanish and the Portugeuse.....hmmmm, wasn't Iberia under Muslim control for around half a millennium? (rhetorical). Maybe some Islamic tendencies rubbed off on them.

Back to the main topic, not all Muslims are any more of a threat to this country than any other American. The September 11th people were neither Americans nor immigrants, but rather people who overstayed their visas.

I just don't trust any Muslims until I'm proven wrong

Why stop there? Don't trust anybody.

I agree with you completely. This is the site, I believe, for reasoned discussion and defense of constitutional principle, not for blind bigotry.

Yes, we should definitely "profile", for our own security, Islamic, middle eastern appearing males between 19 and 40, in the same way we would single out red-headed albino's if one fitting that description had just robbed a bank. This does not extend, however, to the blanket hatred I have seen from time to time on our threads here.

We are better than that. Once again, our great President has made a terrific choice in keeping with our best values and "in your face" to those who oppose him.

Let's all have fun watching the demonic left squirm with this one.

Jeez. Of course you'll win, the percentage of famous people who are Muslim is minute compared to non-Muslim.

I'm done with this thread.

OK, misread your post. I'm not saying the numbers are exact.

Saddam Hussein
Osama Bin Laden
Ahmanutjob or whatever his name is
Zharquawi

It's called making a point.

It's called making a weak point. If you don't have the EXACT numbers and this that it's ridiculous that anyone would, don't pretend to have the EXACT numbers -- it makes you look ridiculous.

Considering RWR, GHWB and GWB trusted him, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that.

From post #103 -

"Khalilzad is considered a protégé of Wolfowitz and Vice President Dick Cheney"

Umm... No.

Intimidation is not terrorism. And even at its most violent, the Klan has never approached the levels that Islamist terrorists regularly live and breathe.

Muslim violence against innocent men, women, elderly and children is so rampant that it has sunk to the level of "dog bites man" in news importance. The only events that are mentioned are those that cast our military and/or GWB in a bad light.
