How about thousands of female "circumcisions" daily using instruments such as broken glass?

Hope readers have strong stomachs

No, Mr. A-wad. (sounds like panties bunched around an a-hole).

It is the videos of the beheadings, 9/11, burkhas, the mass graves, torture, Beslan, roadside bombs, raping of Jessica Lynch, The USS COLE, Marine Barracks, Embassies in Tanzania, Iran and Kenya, the Palestinian atrocites against Israel, The gassed kurds, WTC '93, OK city....

He cited the example of a weekly series, called “Fox 24,” which is broadcast throughout the US and the world, had an Islamic terrorist sleeper cell woven into its plot.

Yeah, only gun-owning conservative Christians are supposed to be the villains!

The internet is a haven for terrorists. Islamic terrorists use the internet for brainwashing non-Muslims and for spreading their propaganda. They also use it to communicate with each other. They use it to teach each other how to make weapons. They use it to hack down anti-terrorist websites, just like they did with the Anti-Terrorism Coalition (ATC). I am the Vice President of the ATC, by the way.

You people have way more patients than I (fortunately). The claims and contentions in this article are wrong on so many levels, that I don't even know where to start. So I didn't. Usually, I like to add to a discussion in some small manner, but this POS just leaves me shaking my head in disbelief.

“As Americans, we are already suffering from bad decisions and bad policies by the US toward the Muslim world.”

On 3, everybody cry for him....

Unfortunately, now I don’t see a realistic and positive coverage of Muslims in the media

What kind of positive spin do you put on people blowing themselves to hell trying to kill innocent civilians?

Newsflash, CAIR... If you idiots would spend time policing your own (ratting out whackos, sniffing out plots) y'all might convince people that you aren't violent. But, as long as you remain silent when bad people do bad things in the name of Mohammed (may he rot) you are not going to get much pitty from the average joe-six-pack.

Take, for example, Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, who said Islam is a wicked religion;

Again, then prove it isn't by making a stand against the terrorists.

and evangelist Jerry Falwell who accused Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) of being a terrorist;

He was.

What I Know...

Jewish - "An eye for an eye" - JUSTICE

Christian - "Turn the other check" "Love your enemies" - UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Islam - Koran 9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them - PURE EVIL

“The saddest thing for Islam, with its 1.2 billion people, and one of the three Abrahamic faiths, is that it is so unknown and so misunderstood by the most sophisticated society on the Earth, the United States. It’s mind boggling.”

Three Abrahamic faiths, my butt. They want to do in and subjugate the Jews and Christians. Anyway, I don't accept those who worship muhammad and allah as being members of a religion similar to Judaism and Christianity. Islam is merely muhammad's hallucinations out in the Arabian desert, being fobbed off as divine revelations.

Poor Islam is understood? Invite all the great religious leaders of the world for an ecumenical chat in Medina or Mecca.

Oops! Can't set foot there (where Muslims go to purify themselves and celebrate brotherhood.

Have to be a Muslim to get it. Not even if you're someone who cast away all the pleasures of the world to dedicate yourself to spoon feeding the Muslim starvelings of Chad would you be good enough to get in. Faith, a hollow profession of faith, trumps everything.

It's 5 AM in the morning here! Must sleep.

Ciao John. Thank you.

They don't really want to convert us. Not most of us.

I really think they want to kill us all.

I agree Islam is misunderstood.

It is misunderstood by the same idiots who mis-underestimate GWB.

The are still millions of Rats out there who misunderstand everything from individual freedoms to murder.
