Chill for a minute, kid. You stated that the muslims in your area are supportive of the US, but you didn't state how you know that. Have you talked with them individually, in depth, and heard each of them state that they'd fight as Americans, for America? Or do they just nod their heads and smile politely at you? I think what some have said to you here are simply trying to see if you're making your statements based on assumptions or actual facts. That's all.

I'm a conservative Christian and I can't stand Pat, Jerry and Jimmy. I refuse to give them the time of day, so I understand your feelings about their latest statements. But I also understand why many Americans are somewhat suspect of people who practice the muslim religion.

Actually I have talked not only to their parents but know their children well. One of the guys in my son's fraternity is from Iran and no one is more gung ho on the US than him.

One of our family's best friends is from Iran and he spent years working for the Air Force and is totally pro-American.

I just hate to see people I know personally tarred and feathered by the actions of a not only rogue less than human beings, but also countries whose leaders support them. So many of the Islamic Country's leaders pay lip service to Islam and actually practice hate themselves against their own people.

But that said, I don't hate all Islamics no more than I hate all of any one religion. I thoroughly detest what some people do in using religion for their own purpose which is excusing taking their own personal responsibility. Instead they stand behind the shield of religion.

All you have to do is look at Northern Ireland and the terrorist movement from there. Are you going to condemn all Catholics for the Irish Republican Army terrorist's attacks in years past? How many Irish Catholic leaders in Boston condemned those attacks? A Mayor's brother was raising funds and shipping guns to the IRA.

thank you, an unbiased(non-christian conservative) person asking a good question. why do people run to the defence of so-called victims? because that's what they've been trained to do. her knee-jerk reaction is to throw her body infront of an imaginary bigot train. i doubt she really knows these nice people in her community. not that there

My problem is not that people don't trust Muslims -- I only trust the ones I know myself! My problem is these three religious leaders saying what they are saying. It doesn't help at all!

These three religious leaders go too far in their hatred IMO!
