[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.

After the September Attacks on America in 2001, literally every TV talk show offered American Muslims the opportunity to talk about the attacks.

What we got was moral lecturing and putting the blame on the USA. Spokesmen like Ibrahim Hooper and others were very careful not to condemn islam or give us some cliches about them not being real muslims. These were representatives of 'mainstream' muslims groups like CAIR and AMC.

The opportunity was given. And American muslims failed to grasp the nettle.

See, it is this self righteous, morally upright tone, condescending to others that really irks.
