"If you want proof then look at the extreme diversity of our population, the different religions and the different ideologies all living together in this country and not one being threatened by another. That is what WE are all about!"

You should find out how many temples, mosques and people ( for having brown skin) were attacked after 9-11. Did you know that a Sikh has more in common with Hindu beliefs and practices than Muslims and they were killed after 9-11 because they where a turban. Did you know that after the Indian government started persecuting Sikhs more of them started wearing turbans. The same is happening with orthodox Muslims, women are wearing the veil in larger numbers. In fact, in the Washington Post I read an article where secular Muslim women are wearing the veil in Iraq more for their safety. We are dealing with large complex populations, and I think that George W. Bush wants you all to belive that the statement above is true about America. And the fact is that it is true for some people, but not for everybody. People hate each other in the US and kill each other for their beliefs, or just the way they look. Is that what WE are all about? Obviously not since you said so above, but I know by the fact that people are abused and killed here, that WE have a lot of work to do to reach the ideal espoused in the statement above.

I will leave that up to you to provide me with those facts since it is your allegation........One has to wonder what propaganda you are reading.

That is an absolute lie and I challenge you to provide evidence for your claim!
