Your argument simply fails the reality test. Whether Catholic or Muslim, there’s a wide range of belief regarding what constitutes being a member of that group. You’ve taken a narrow set of characteristics and tried to apply them to an entire group, some members of which disagree with your definition. If I find 100 Catholics or Muslims who vigorously and reasonably claim to be a member of that faith, but who do not share the characteristics you ascribe, then certainly there must be a million more and your definition must be questioned.

A few months ago, the county board of Loudoun County, Virginia, just a few miles down the road from the federal capital, granted a zoning variance to facilitate construction of a new Islamic academy over vigorous local opposition. The institution, one of a number being constructed nationwide, will cover some 100 acres, will include elementary, middle, and high schools, will feature an 800-bed dormitory, and will grace the rolling hills of the Virginia horse country with a 65-foot mosque dome and an 85-foot minaret.

After last year, the U.S. panel actually recommended the school, which is funded entirely by the Saudi Arabian government, be closed. Among other things, reporters found that the textbooks encouraged Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam. According to curriculum obtained by MSNBC in 2008, the Islamic Saudi Academy has been a breeding ground for terrorists.At the insistence of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, a U.S. District judge increased the sentence of Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, an Al Qaeda operative who was convicted for plotting to assassinate President Bush, from 30 years to life. It turns out that Ali was the valedictorian of his 1999 class at the Islamic Saudi Academy in Fairfax County.

The first article was written in 1999. The second in the last few years.
You are incredibly naive or actually muslim.

According to Muslim estimates, up to 80 percent of mosques in the U.S. are owned, operated and led by Wahhabis. These radical mosques often promote the installation of Sharia law, an extreme ideology that considers ‘non-believers’ to be infidels. According to Wahhabis, Jihad or support of Jihad is a Muslim duty. They believe that suicide bombers and martyrs are worthy of the highest praise and reward. And radicals are anticipating the day when an Islamic state will one day span the U.S.An in-depth study of 100 mosques and Islamic schools has found that 3 out of 4 Islamic centers are promoting anti-western and anti-American ideology. Many receive funding from Saudi Arabia and the Muslim Brotherhood. The Islamic Society of Boston, MA has built a $22 million Islamic Cultural Center, whose founder, Abdurahman Alamoudi, is under scrutiny for extremist ties. Alamoudi currently sits in federal prison. A former professor at Harvard University encountered a local mosque in Cambridge, MA distributing Wahhabi reading materials that preach hatred toward America.

The only real question is why you would think you can believe what they are telling you. Good luck with that.
