and I came home to this thread, full of comments that seem to be urging me to have a more bigoted, distrustful, fearful view of a Muslim family (a handsome young man who works at Microsoft, his beautiful wife, and their adorable little girl) that lives in my neighborhood

Wow, they're all attractive? No one who is attractive can be bad right?

I was hoping you would have a more REALISTIC view of the world.

By the way there are at least two muslim groups at microsoft and they both contain terrorists and terrorist supporters.

Try this to open your eyes: drive south on 405, West on 90, take the Rainier Avenue exit, drive South on Rainier till you pass the large Safeway. Go a few more blocks and look for Crescent Cuts on the East side of the street.

Stop in, you'll know the place because they are all young muslim males (no women allowed) in full battle dress.

Ask them their views on Jews, Christians, and America. Ask them if Microsoft muslims are their brothers and if they are valued more than kafir infidel Americans.

What has your neighbor done to fight terrorism? To denounce it?

What will your attitude be if SEA suffers a muslim bio attack and your family dies horribly?

Is that introduction supposed to warm me to your views?

Why would I blame my neighbor if Seattle suffers a biological attack, unless his name is in the news afterwards?

I'm not a bigot. Stop trying to turn me into one.

By the way, that neighborhood is the same area where Ethiopian muslims cheered in the street while people were jumping from the twin towers.
