Although I didn't ask about your relatives, are you saying that American Muslims have not fought in any wars or built any buildings or contributed to the economy of our country?

Do you REALLY think that the majority of American Muslims secretly celebrated on 9/11? The Muslims I know of didn't. THey were horrified, shocked and scared. They also were scared because of people like you who would have rounded them up and put them behind barbed wire or worse. They kept a low profile so as not to draw attention to themselves out of FEAR for their lives.

Yes, many did because I heard and saw them. Their leaders" issued statements of condolence with the added ..."but"

Crocodile tears if ever I saw them.

I understand why you would fear for your lives as there is more than enough fear and bigotry in this country but I truly think the biggest problem may have been the silence.... In other words, Muslims do appear to be shy in publicly protesting and condemning those they believe have committed an injustice...

Would you consider a March on Washington where Muslims gather to declare your support of change through peaceful means to condemn the extremists that have shamed those that practice your faith... Your silence has been deafening...

I hear the words of the very articulate rep from Saudi Arabia who takes the position that it is not the way of practitioners of the faith to express themselves in public but I see protesters in the West Bank, in Baghdad, Tehran, and many other locations with regards to policies of the West...

I think there has to be more, though I believe significant progress has been made, of a willingness for all sides to be willing to do a little more honest self examination...
