As practiced by most Muslims, it is a peaceful religion.

Please point out the countries where muslims live peacefully. Also, please name those muslim countries that are tolerant of other religions.

Oh, and Egypt still has about 5 million Copts. It may not be a bowl of cherries for them, but they are still there, and quite prosperous.

Jordan and Turkey, to name two. Both countries also have minorities of other faiths.

The suspicion of Muslims (which is understandable given the last year and a half) is perilously close to descending into religious bigotry.

While I think Muslims are wrong in their faith, as an American who believes in the Constitution I think everyone who is agitated about Islam should perhaps try to re-think his/her attitude in light of the Constitution and , if applicable, Christian teachings. People should also understand the practical difficulties of declaring a war on a faith that has one billion people as adherents.
