I don't think it's an either/or. You can be a Muslim and be American. This hyphenated stuff is a load of crap. Just as an American can be Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, etc., an American can also happen to be Muslim or Arab or whatever.

People should worship whatever their conscience allows. Quite obviously, they should do it in their private churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc. As the President suggested just now on FoxNews, we should reflect on those who have passed, think about what we can do to deliver justice, and ensure that we do not facilitate terror on Americans who happen to be Muslim.

I agree completely. I have a foreign brother-in-law. Those who come here for love of our country or freedom from oppression, welcome to ya. Those who come here, and proceed to whine because we don't respect their culture, then expect us to teach OUR children THEIR cultures in our schools, can take a flying leap back to where they came from.
