Sure beats Oprah.

[NYC GOP Chick]

As soon as we heard the news, 7 million American Muslims wondered in terror, "Will America blame me?"

I'd have a little more empathy for them if their first thought was "I am so grief-stricken that so many people died."

[Dengar01]

I guess the Muslims are sick and tired of hiding up in their homes. I take this piece as total BS, it is propaganda filtered through the radical left so that we can all hold hands and sing kumbaya, except the ACLU might not like that song. Well anyways don't believe everything you here because a lot is just BS, I've heard many Muslims in the US not condemn the attacks but condemn the US for its foreign policy and the many "racist" hate crimes committed of course by whites.

[cicero's_son]

I agree.

My Islamic friends are more interested in pointing out how CNN is "government controlled" while al-Jazeera is free and unbiased than to they are in sharing America's grief and outrage. For the most part, I find their reactions shameful.

[Texaggie79]

That or, "Those towel heads are gonna die!" :-)

[TomGuy]

Hmmm...guess I missed the big "American-Muslims Against the Terrorist Ben Laden" rally.
When was it held???

[NautiNurse]

Taking your comment one step further--all I read was someone talking about what everyone else did or did not do for them. Nothing about what they did to be helpful or productive. Nary a word about ideas to find the murderers. Not one suggestion.

I feel sorry for this woman. But as a Christian, I would feel some responsibility if a strain of "Christian" terrorism arose with mass murder done in the name of Christ. It would have to be my battle, no matter how powerless I felt.

Does this woman have any idea how the US can keep people like her, and keep out people like the terrorists? I sure don't know, and the government doesn't either.

Why hasn't the gov't curtailed visitors from the Middle East, started rounding people up and sending them home? Are they afraid of hurrying up an attack they're not prepared for?

New border policy: welcome to America. Have a ham sandwich.

[11th Earl of Mar]

I guess he hasn't read the news accounts of Arabs around the country that are astounded at the outpouring of love that is shown them by their American neighbors and even American strangers.

There were stories of grocery store managers giving candy to Arab children, Arab store owners receiving money in the mail from American strangers to rebuild their stores, flowers galore to Arab families from American neighbors.

[daviddennis]

I suspect he felt that this has been said so many times before that it would sound trite and corny. I know I'd feel akward about that myself if I was writing something similar.

[EternalVigilance]

While I would never sanction cruelty to this woman, or anyone else, most especially little children, I would definitely take issue with her claim that she and I worship the same God...the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

She needs to dig a little deeper, and look diligently for the foundations of Islam, and the roots of Christianity.

Mohammed was a bloodthirsty, murderous, mortal man...Jesus Christ was and is THE God who made us all.

"You will know a tree by it's fruit." -Jesus Christ

And let us never forget that McVeigh declared himself to be an athiest.

[joey'smom]

There are other, much better articles in this issue of Rolling Stone. Especially, "My Lunch with Osama Bin Laden" and some utterly hair-raising 9-11 eyewitness accounts. It's all online. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out!!

[Channel_Islands_EANx_Diver]

Me thinks the "moderate" Arabs doth protesteth too much.

All I've seen from the Muslim community here in L.A. is at best an indifference to 9.11.

[WhiteGuy]

struggle to please God.

This is a load of crap. Some 10 year old says "terrorist" to her, and she cries out for justice.

The terror attacks will probably continue in this country, and will be carried out in some cases
by American citizens who are muslims, Just like the author.

We cannot let down our guard and let our good and peace loving nature be taken advantage of.

[Texas Mom]

Give me a break.. These people who use the Oklahoma Bombing as a comparison bug the heck out of me.

1. Timothy McVeigh was not supported by a government Although there is still some who suspect he may have had some middle eastern connections

2. Timothy McVeigh was arrested

3. Timothy McVeigh was executed.

4.Timothy McViegh is dead and we don't have to worry about him doing the same thing again.

5. Timothy McViegh never used the name of God to justify his actions.

There is no comparison between Timothy McVeigh and these murdering b***ards.

I'll repeat HE IS DEAD. That's what we do to murderers.

Me thinks you are right.
