Bush generalizes? I don't think he generalizes enough.

There are 6 Million Muslims living in the USA?! That's scary! Sure, a majority of Muslims voted for Bush in '2000, prior to 9/11. Now, they're supporting wimpy Kerry. What does this say about how they feel about the war on terrorism? Hmmm?

Mabe they feel deprived. Interning them would give them something to whine about.

Hey Shaffea--Bush only calls terrorists (who happen to be Muslims) evil. He calls Islam the religion of peace and has praised Muslims who stand against terrorists. Shaffea obviously believes that Muslims and terrorists are one and the same and she supports them. Otherwise, she would be voting for Bush. Hmm?

"There are 6 Million Muslims living in the USA?! That's scary!"

Roughly that many, give or take a million. A somewhat smaller number are citizens, but it's still a sizable chunk of population.

Of course, some are blacks who have converted to Islam. The rest are from the Middle East, with an emphasis on Pakistan.

As citizens, they have the right to vote, just as all citizens do. As President Bush says, "Islam is a religion of peace." Terrorists are not good citizens. Most Moslem citizens, however, are OK. They own businesses, create jobs, and do all the things we all do. They just have a different religion.

Telling the terrorists from the peaceable Moslems is the problem. I have no solution for that one.

Let me get this straight: these people left a hell-hole to come live in this country, and now they're going to try to vote out the guy who's trying to keep this country from becoming the same kind of hell-hole they left.

That about sum it up?

"Let me get this straight: these people left a hell-hole to come live in this country"

Actually, they came from all sorts of places. Islam is a pretty widespread religion. A lot of Moslems who are US citizens were born right here, so they didn't come from anywhere other than the USA.

As the war on terror progresses, maybe they are afraid that some terror cells will be identified within the US, and the rest of the Muslim community will be painted with a broad-brush.

"They need to quit generalising, calling all Arabs evil-doers and all those other stupid names Bush uses."

Just more street talk. Bush never said anything of the kind and needless to say she will never be able to come up with a direct quote from Bush to prove it either.

I try to distinguish between Muslims and Islamofascists. I just complained about post #9 (I'm sure I'm not the only one who did) and it has been removed.
