I have yet to see any evidence that the Moslems in this country who have spoken out against the terrorist attacks have been insincere. Have you?
By the way, do you actually know any Moslems?

It's only been a five days, so I can't judge their sincerity.
of course, if the press and media report any future celebrations of the Mass Murder, I might begin to question their sincerity.

Yes, I have know several Muslims. The curious thing is that none of them deemed it necessary to dress as if their camels were parked outside, and I had no clue they were Muslim until a long time after meeting them.
They were close to their culture, but indistinguishable from me or you.

They are Americans.

I have a colleague who is as you describe your Moslem associates. He was born in Iran, but grew up in this country. He dresses and talks like an American, which of course he is.

I think I'll call him up and invite him to lunch this week. My guess is he will have some harsh things to say about terrorists who fly airliners into buildings full of people.
