I would agree, I don't care if they register visitors (non-citizens) from Islamic countries.. and I don't want to hear them cry about it.

However, how cna you say that: "American Muslims particularly arabs and pakistanis have no credibility in the USA.."

You linked me to an article from "pak today" that (I just skimmed the top of it) that appears to be slamming radical islam.

What do you want from them exactly? They don't owe you or me an explanation any more than we owe one to the gays or the tree huggers. Their religion is thousands of years old, it's legitimate and it's protected.

The religion is 1500 odd years old.

THe article is the type of sentiment i would like to see from more american muslims. Instead, a guy like Sayyed is ostracised by his very own. That's why i say they have no credibility because the impression that America has towards Muslims is very different now than in the past -- it's rather negative now, to say the least and that is due to the failure of their community groups and spokesmen to calm Americans jitters about them over the past year.

Blaming America is not the most politic way to endear yourself to the American public.
