Muslims have been here for hundreds of years.
There are millions of them here (estimates 5-8 million).

Although there are extremists who hate our country there are also many loyal ones serving in our armed forces, in the CIA, and Defense Department.

I'm one of the first people who advocated absolutely no human rights for fundamentalists, but i know there is a huge difference between fundamentalists and those in Turkey or those Students in Iran.

You may think so, but our Presidents not stupid. If he hoenstly thought there was a threat from US Muslims he'd say it instead of saying they're 'law abiding citizens' who love this country.

True; we have to deal with 'radical' Islam, but 'radical' Islam is far different then Islam as a whole.

Moderates are battling extremists on a daily basis in the Middle East and extremists have killed more MUSLIMS than any other religion.

More articles you read the more you realize that there is a constant battle between the extremists (who are very violent), and the moderates (who use civil disobedience).

Until I (we) see evidence that your so-called moderate muslims do not indeed advocate violence to advance there religion, I remain unconvinced. Silence on these acts of terror is support in my opinion. The more I read, the more I see the violent form of islam advancing throughout the world. Unless the peaceful muslims speak up forcefully, they will become casualities of the battle the violent muslims advocate. I remain unconvinced and I remain unsympathetic.
