>>This distrotion of the Qur'an and

We've heard all these statements about true muslims and suchlike. And the so called distortion of the kuran.

You're gonna have a hard time convincing us of the BS about islam being hijacked when all over the world, from the Piillippines to Indonesia, Malaysia, even Thailand now, to Kashmir, Chechnya, Israel, Sudan, Algeria and the Balkans, the jihadis pursue their bloodletting with great fervor, enthusiasm and joy.

Better yet, the serious issue is the total lack of credibility on the part of the US muslims in relation to the rest of America. American muslims have not shown or demonstrated or proved that their primary loyalty is to America and to a civil secular society that promotes equality for women and tolerates and encourages a variety of viewpoints.

Don't the American muslims understand the hole they've dug for themselves.

[Sharif]

It is true that American Muslims have been invisible during this whole escapade and that our voices have not received national attention during the tradegy of Sept. 11th. But you speak as if you have a serious chip on your shoulder. You immediatly go into an offensive attack instead of looking at the cause of all of this. Madmen have been allowed to run many of these Middle-Eastern countries and they have depressed the economies and stolen from the weak and down-trodden. This has created a powder-keg which let the likes of Osama Bin Laden become a messiah to the oppressed masses. He teaches hate and he does indeed distort the Qur'an.
But American Muslims are not tolerent of terrorisim. Why do you think most of these forigners came here? They are trying to escape the hell that their countries have become because of these dictators. We speak out against terrorisim, but we do not receive national attention and we do not have a public forum for people to listen to our opinions.
Many Americans are accepting Islam even after the 9/11 attacks. This is because they can see what many can't. God guides who he wishes.
