And many other Muslims helped us knock out the Taliban...

I cant't think of one Islamic country that volunteered in this effort. Iran did offer to help with any downed US pilots.

The Northern Alliance and Muslims in the former Soviet Republics helped us. So did Pakistan. Jordan was the first Arab country to pledge troops to our war on terror. Bahrain was the second and sent a frigate. Malaysia has arrested Al Qaeda members and stopped a possible attack in Singapore. Turkish troops are in Afghanistan.

The point is that if Muslims ever view Americans as they do Jews, we have a much more difficult war on our hands. We can support Israel but rubbing Muslim faces in that support or agitating that our was is Israel's war and all Muslims are our enemy are not good moves.
