If you have evidence that any of these "fellow American citizens who happen to be Muslim" are entertaining similar notions, perhaps you should inform Tom Ridge.
Otherwise, you're just stereotyping.
Such stereotyping might lead a lurker to think you're a hotheaded redneck, and we wouldn't want them to get that notion now, would we?
Tom and I aren't close, but I'll drop him a Ramadan card.

Yeah, hotheaded redneck that I am, it galls me to see this nation's chief executive placating the group that spawned al-Qaida. But I'll bet every one of these peace-loving citizens howled in outrage that their co-religionists would commit such heinous crimes. No doubt it would have been acceptable for Roosevelt to have high tea with Hitler too.

Whoa, are YOU perceptive! I'm torn between having lurkers think of me as a hotheaded redneck or a simpering coward who coddles our enemies. Hmmmmmmm.
Suddenly it dawns on me that I don't give a fiddler's fart what you -- or a hypthetical lurker -- think! That makes the decision much easier.
