Oh my. This has obviously touched some collective American chord. How many of us are feeling this way, and are afraid to be viewed as racists or bigots? It's so much easier to say, "deport all illegals" than it is to say, "All Muslim Americans must prove to me that I need not fear them." It's their terrible silence...it is so loud.

Not only that, but I think all Americans in general must prove to me (and you) that we need not fear them when they are behind the wheel of a car. Drunk American drivers, as well as non-drunk American drivers killed more Americans than terrorists did this year.

I should give a little background - I recently lost a very close cousin to a drunk driver. 10 years ago, I lost a fiancee. Last year, around 17,000 families lost members to drunk drivers, and around 40,000 families lost members in traffic accidents alone.

Who should I be afraid of again? A people of a certain color who worship in a certain place, who had a few dozen of their members upto a 100 or so(taking into account there were the 19, plus people helping them out - we won't know how many unless the government tells us) who killed 4,000 or so Americans? Or my fellow Americans who managed to kill 40,000 of us last year.
