I don't agree with the poster that said that you can't be an American and a Muslim. I do agree with your remark that apologies are too little, too late, unless the apologies are followed by action by more than a few scattered Muslims. Where are the statements from whole Muslim communities, apologizing to America, instead of accusing Americans of abusing their rights. I'm so tired of Muslims demanding special treatment, not just in the US, but all over the world.
I just read in the WSJ that the Muslims in China are demanding that the Chinese remove all references to the year of the pig from all tv ads.
I DO agree with the sentiment that Muslims in general, and American Muslims in particular have not done enough to denounce some of the more recent and disgusting actions that Muslims have taken. I'm not saying that Christians and Jews don't have things to apologize for from time to time. Just that your silence adds fuel to some of the uglier sentiments that we have witnessed here.
