As a devoted and quite obsessed FReeper, I have to say that I am waiting, patiently, to see a ton of articles posted by Freepers about Muslim-Americans speaking out in unity against what took place September 11th. I want to see an overwhelming amount of Muslim-American sources, speaking in unity, that Islam is not what "we" think it to be.

So far, there has been little. At least not enough to convince me that the danger isn't real. I've tried to be patient, I've tried to read all I can about Islam (to at least know what the heck it really is), I've tried to be culturally sensitive. But the more I read and the more I DON'T read (like the alarmingly lacking types of articles mentioned above) the more I think the "Islam is a Religion of Peace" and "Not ALL muslims are militant" mantras are baloney.

I want them to put their money where their mouth is. Show me. Prove to me, to the WASP'y Americans, that we have nothing to fear from them.

There wasn't a country yet which could warranty 100 percent security to their citizens. And even if you lock up every Muslim in America, that wouldn't warranty 100 percent security. Nor would it make America more safe. There will be other groups, and before you know it, you're in a giant camp.Just put the barb wire around and call the guards.
