Now what's the odds of us both coming up with that
Heh. I saw that. Actually, if we're about the same
age, I'd say pretty good. :)

"There isn't a single recurring Muslim character, for example, on a sitcom or drama."
What would a Muslim sitcom look like? I can just see two Muslim men talking to each other, Mohammed and Abdulah. Mohammed takes out his wallet and shows Abdulah some photos of his boys. Abdulah looks at Mohammed and says, "My, they blow up so fast these days". ;o)

"American Muslim life is, for the most part, quite similar to mainstream American life," said Hassan."If it's so similar, then why do you need your own programming? Why do you seek to actively set yourself apart by claiming to be overlooked?

"Then again, a large proportion of these people (all of 'em, I would hope) came to America to escape life under an assortment of ruthless despots, military dictators, terrorist ringleaders, absolute monarchs, brutal tyrants, power-crazed ayatollahs, mad mullahs, oppressive autocrats, and other miscellaneous strongmen"
This should be enough to maky anyone leave that oppressive "religion" and find something safer and more conducive to peace and prosperity. They leave the terrain where the oppression occured, but bring the theology and ideology of oppression to America with them.

Muslim sitcoms...there won't be any.
You can't make wife beating funny.
You tan't make honor killings funny.
You can't make anti-jewish hate crimes funny.
--->It would have been a lot cheaper to march on washington and declare terrorism is not acceptable in the islamic community. That won't happen. The reason: terror IS acceptable in American Islamic connunities.

I think it's great.
If they feel they are being misrepresented, they can get their own TV show and set the record straight.. and let the free market decide if the enterprise is viable or not.
I think it's wonderful.. That's exactly the way you should do it.
No bombs, no terrorism, no demands laced with murderous threats. Just the free market and a desire to educate people and tell their side of the story.
Bravo!

The six-to-eight million number is a flat out lie propagated by CAIR and the AMC.

"There isn't a single recurring Muslim character, for example, on a sitcom or drama" --then again, there isn't a single recurring Southern Baptist, either. Or Morman, or Pentacostal, etc., etc.

"Muslim Americans will celebrate and enjoy freedom of the press. " I'll believe this when I see them marching under banners reading "End Sharia Law Now!!!"
To: Jhoffa_
Thats why we are America. Good for you Mr. Hoffa. Someone (I forget who) typed on this site one night something to the effect of America, the place where you dont have to love your neighbor. Just leave the bastard alone." I agreed then and now. But to take this country out of the morass it is in a little more love and as you say, less bombs, is a good thing. I also would encourage the Islamic faith to air themselves. It should open their closed communities to more interaction and accountability. Just my opinion FWIW.

Huh?
So, gun owners comprise the pond in which criminals who use firearms swim and thrive with inpugnity. Every gun owner has something to do with crime in America.
Catholics and Protestants comprise the pond in which republican and unionist paramilitaries swim and thrive with inpugnity. Every Catholic and Protestant has something to do with terrorism in NI.
Twisted logic; that which says that simply being a Muslim connects you with terrorism.
To: Rummyfan
Yep, it is, and about 1 mil of the real 3 mil figure are American blacks. But in time, the number will become real. Hopefully by that time, the American Muslims will blend in just like most everyone everyone else, and the blending is real and powerful to this day, despite what the naysayers say.
