WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than half of Muslim-Americans in a new poll say that government anti-terrorism policies single them out for increased surveillance and monitoring, and many report increased cases of name-calling, threats and harassment by airport security, law enforcement officers and others.

Still, most Muslim-Americans say they are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. and rate their communities highly as places to live.

Terrorists feel targeted by anti-terror too, I bet. Don’t they need their own headlines?

If “most US Muslims” would stop supporting terrorist support groups like CAIR maybe we would trust them. But they won’t, so we can’t.

Of course the Muzzies are satisfied since they have one of their own ("My Muslim faith...") occupying the office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

You see, there are basically 2 classes of muslims...

One class believes in domination of the world by violent means.

The other class believes in domination of the world by propagation. Anyone see the latest figures yet on fertility rates in muslim communities vs everyone else???

It should say that: consistent with taqqiyyah, most muslims claim they feel targeted by anti-terrorism policies.

If Northern America were occupied by 95% Muslims, imagine the state of things...

What else is there to say?

FWIW, one’s vision is devoid of the opinion I didn’t give.

*sigh* I wish I felt like they were being targeted. As well they should be, they have fully earned it.

By commission and omission.

Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

No matter what you do for or to a muslim, at the end of the day, we are still the infidel.

Every “moderate” Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a “moderate” Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.

More than half of Muslim-Americans..............

How about we stop hyphenating America. Either you are American or you are not.

As well they should -- the U.S. President is sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood and lax immigration laws have increased the number of Muslims in the U.S. significantly. Things are moving right along.

Also why if hyphenated is the term not American muslim, african, Italian etc.

Why is America always seconded in hyphenated description— couls it be that those who wish to cause class warfare see America as second class nation

Even if “most” American Muslims are not passionate enough about the Koran to want to engage in terroristic jihad, enough are, and enough become so every year, that it raises a cloud of suspicion over the whole group. It’s not like a terrorist will voluntarily wear a scarlet T on his or her forehead to make it easy to give his or her fellow nominal Muslims a pass.
