"Before and after September 11" muslims are killing anyone not like them every chance they get.

Tit for tat. Thats what I see.

"As a community we feel hurt. Our kids are afraid to sleep at night," said Mohamed Majad of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society. Nihad Awad, executive director of Cair, said he had been overseas when he heard about the raids and had had to defend the US government to other Muslims. He said he explained that the government had slipped into the control of "the extremists".

If he feels "hurt" and upset now about "raids" and detentions, wonder what he'll feel like if in-country Muslims manage another 9/11-type attack. Americans of all stripes will be demanding all the types of questioning, arrests and detentions he is complaining about. It would help if some of their leaders would publicly condemn the actions of their brethren and support US efforts to fight terrorism, rather than condemn our response as "extremism".

Waaa waaa. American dream gone for Muslims? Then leave and don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.

I for one have seen how the radical Islamic movement would come into a major conflict with the west. After doing much reading of even former Muslims, I have come to the conviction that a great many Muslims want peace and are searching for eternal answers. Unfortunately, no one can measure up to the standards to getting to heaven, hence much conflict and trying on the part of men (and women) to get to heaven. We can't try...that is the difference between Christianity and Islam. The only assurance of getting to heaven according to the Quoran is through Jihad and martyrdom. Christianity is a relationship with Jesus Christ where Christ so loved us that he gave his own life so that we can belong to him and all we need to do is trust in that sacrifice for salvation. The Bible teaches that we can be assured of salvation after we die and Christ's resurrection provides the proof that it is true. Any religion does not purport to that belief (including Islam). My definition of religion is man's efforts to please God but if man is imperfect and a sinner, how can he do that? If there is no assurance, where is peace?

These sentiments were expressed repeatedly at two town meetings held this week in the northern Virginia suburbs after 150 federal agents raided 14 homes and offices of some of the region's most respected Muslim leaders.

I keep hearing about this stuff happening in Virginia, I live in Virginia and I rarely see Muslims. They are not welcome here and they know it.
