Because an embarrasingly large percentage of our population is ignorant and will blame innocent, peaceful people based solely on their religion.

I have to admit, when this first started, I wanted to go to the local Islamic center and offer my condolences that they were being targeted unfairly, see if I could help out families that were afraid to leave home to get groceries, that sort of thing.

But the farther this progresses, I want to go to the local Islamic center and ask them why they aren't doing more to help US. We have heard little but their insistence that they should be protected, Islam is a peaceful religion. Hum. Clearly "peace", "freedom", and many other words mean something different to Muslims than to the rest of the world.

Why would I want to know more about Islam? I believe the catchphrase is "know thine enemy".

I stopped wanting to know about Islam back in college when I saw the Muslim students and they told me about it. They will claim to be very holy but then go to the cheapest bars and pick up the cheapest women, they drink, they gamble and unlike most Christians who do this they still claim to be very religious. All their definitions are different, adultery is only if a married woman is cheating, it's okay for the men, they have a convenient "temporary" marriage which can last one night, one week or however long called mutaa. They can have 4 wives but if that isn't enough, they can have "concubines". Women are just property, usually exchanged for some material item. It's not a very appealing religion.
