500 Muslims died on 9/11? That's 1/6 of estimated deaths. Wonder the percent of Muslims in U.S.? Could this be right or do we have another wild and wide-eyed journalist?

The average middle-class, mosque-going Muslims who run grocery stores, are office workers or students, are totally confused at what they should do or say. Should they side with the terrorists overseas or with the superpower that is bombing the innocent civilians in hospitals and houses in Afghanistan in order to free the world of these terrorists? Mr. Athar. Please go. If you can't tell the difference between good and evil, then you should just leave. By the way, take some academics with you. Thanks.

This entire article got my blood pressure up.
All the progress made in the growth of Islam in our country for the last 50 years seems to be reversed, and some immigrant Muslims have started to question whether they should go back to their countries of origin.
Please, by all means...
On the other extreme are Muslim leaders, who, after recovering from the shock of Sept. 11, suffered from an unwarranted guilt complex and became apologetic.
Please indulge me. These Muslim leaders are who?
Should they side with the terrorists overseas or with the superpower that is bombing the innocent civilians in hospitals and houses in Afghanistan.
WTF? Just how many "innocent civillians" have been bombed in Afghanistan? Maybe a microscopic fraction of those killed on 9-11 (if any at all).
The joy of being a Muslim in America is gone, at least for now.
Oh cry me a river... Do these people think only of themselves? I have heard little remourse, only the moans and groans of being discriminated against while celebrating in the streets.

It's fantasy. But complete fabrications seem to be the stock in trade of so much of the Islamic world. Part of that might be the nature of Arabic as a language.

Maybe because the Koran teaches muslims to kill infidels, and the non-muslim US population has just gotten educated. How many non-muslims in the US ever read the Koran before 9/11? Don't let the door hit.....

Will our women in hijab be able to shop without fear? It's the Israelis who are getting blown up in shopping malls, you cretin (the cretin being Athar, not sarcasm who brought this barf alert to our attention).

Maybe their 600 number (which is fanciful bs) includes the demons who flew the planes into the buildings.

I hope and pray we regain our bruised self-esteem. Many of us, especially those from overseas, tend to live in the past rather than the present. While our bodies are here, our hearts and minds were left behind. We need to bring our hearts to the land we have adopted as our home. Why not take your sorry arse back to where your heart is? So for 50 years, while you have adopted the US as your "home", your heart never came with it. I guess Allah will be real proud of you living the good life in the US, while abandoning your bretheren. What a bunch of cowards. At least the muslims that came to this country to educate themselves (better than they could in the homeland) and then returned home to try to make their countries better can be given a certain amount of respect.

"some immigrant Muslims have started to question whether they should go back to their countries of origin." I feel threatened by anyone who believes that perverted Islam crap, go home!

TRANSLATION:
We don't care about America but we Muslims do care that our life here is a lot more dicey since our fellow Muslims killed thousands of Americans while on a Jihad.

I don't see one word of anger here about this attack on America.
All I see is some Muslim complaining about treatment of his fellow Muslims in America. Also lying too about 1000 hate crimes.
