>>"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.
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.
>>>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.

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

I did not say who was guided and who was not. You feel that you are guided and I feel that I am guided. Both of us are right. We were guided to this point by a greater power. I did not mean to be condesending.
As for the people who spoke after 9/11, they do not represent us. They are liberal Muslims from liberal organizations. Nobody asked for conservative (not fanatical) Muslims to come on their shows. The reason why is because the liberal Muslim Organizations receive the most media attention. But they water-down their message. I am preaching the truth, and if it hurts, too bad.
Peace onto you. To you your religion and unto me, mine.
