I have some friends - they were murdered at the WTC.
I have some friends in DC - they have been living in terror for the past 3 weeks.
I have some friends in LA - they were murdered at the airport.
I have some friends flying from Boston - they died in a field in Pennsylvania.
The history of the MUSLIM religion is that it will cause its adherents to kill you if you do not agree with them.
The only reason that your friends haven't killed you yet is that they are not yet strong enough to do so with impunity.
You cannot love America and be a committed Muslim.
There is a name for those that foolishly hope against hope that the Islamofacists will not kill - it is Appeaser.
Sooner or later either they will triumph or we will.

"they will triumph or we will"....err...I think you meant "Triumph of the Will," your favorite film.

I can't be sure, of course, but I'm reasonably certain that my friends had nothing to do with the deaths of your friends.
Perhaps you could concentrate on the defeat of the REAL miscreants, and stop making simple-minded comments?

Actually, the Islamofacists relate to regular Islam the way Christian Identity relates to Christianity. There's plenty of Old Testament stuff that can be used to justify violence against others. But we're not Old Testament folks - we don't keep slaves, we don't stone women to death if they are not virgins when married (Deut 22:20), and we don't kill all the men and enslave all the women and children when we conquer an enemy (Deut 20:13-14). So - just as it is possible for Christians to move on and become more civilized, it is possible for Muslims to do the same. And many do.

You cannot love America and be a committed Muslim. You can observe a lot just by looking.(Wry humor) Did any body ever notice that Muslem countries aren't democracies? Or India has always been split along religious lines over their government. Pakistans exists for that very reason. Islam and Democracy mix like oil and water. Islamic countries have been out of date since 1776

It's truly sad that you're so incredibly blind to anything but your own faith.
Look through the history of Christianity and you can see just as much death and violence through the ages.
You can take violent verses out of the Bible just as you can out of the Kuran.
I find radical Islam just as frightening as the next person. But don't condemn the entire faith because some people choose to interpret it in a very sick and violent manor.
