I think what you are seeing is concern from some (like me!) that we are on a slippery slope of resenting or hating Muslims as a people when far less than 1% of Muslims in this country would ever even condone such activities let alone engage in them.
It is ironic especially since the GOP has traditionally been big supporters of Israeli defense yet Jewish voters vote overwhelmingly for liberal Democrats while Arab Americans are by and large GOP voters.
I know you know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys and most here do. But we have to be careful that we don't let the fact that all the people involved in the attack Israel and attack America network are Middle Easterners because like was the case with Germany there will come a time when we have defeated the true evil network and find that most of the civilians in their sphere of influence loathe these extremists and their militant tactics to undermine moderate and legitimate Arab nations and destroy as many Western institutions and lives as they can.
How do you have access to the exact number of people involved in this? If you knew before Sept 11 how many were going to kill thousands of Americans, you should not have kept this to yourself. No one yet has been able to tell me how to recognize a terrorist from a nice guy and before Sept 11, by all reports the hijackers were pretty nice guys.
Even the airlines couldn't tell the difference on the morning of September 11, how do you really expect that we know? If you listen to some of the voice chats the Arabs go to or read their message boards, you'll see very many are not at all upset about the attacks.
where'd you get THIS figure? that include the folks in new jersey who danced in the streats and went koodooloo at news of the tower bombings?

P.S. IIRC I saw where something like 50% of the Moslems in this country think that Osama bin Laden is a "Good Moslem." If this is anywhere near true, BRRRRRR!!!
How do you know? The guys in the little boat that came up to the USS Cole before exploding it to smithereens had huge smiles on their faces and were waving.
They ALL smile real big.
How do you tell a genuine, heartfelt smile from one of those "I'm-about-to-blast-your-evil-American-a$$!!!" smile? By the way, has Carl Cameron reported this yet? Who believes Time, anyway? I won't believe it until I hear Carl say it with my own ears.
Are we having fun yet?!
