"But for an American-born Muslim kid growing up in America, there are virtually no realistic portrayals of Muslims in dramas, sitcoms, soap operas or talk shows."

Speaking strictly for myself, I had enough realistic portayal of Muslim drama on September 11, 2001.

That's the bottom line. Yes, I know that many Muslims in this country purportedly are loyal, but I ask you, have you heard even one of these people condemn bin-Laden? If you haven't had the chance to hear from a Muslim an answer to this question, just ask one. They may love living in the US, but make no mistake about it, they will side with Islam over the US every time.

I guess Baghdad Bob's Comedy Hour may go over well.

Come on people. The majority of Muslim Americans are not terrorists but in fact are great people. How do I know? I've had many pleasant opportunities to befriend many.

I ask you this - What is worse, a Muslim American, or some white trash woman who judges everyone in the name of Jesus? And don't mention anything about all these Muslims supporting terrorism...because they don't

Except to the Muslim audience, it would be the evening news.

[CommandoFrank]

yet pop culture images of them are scant beyond the nightly news reports chronicling the war on terrorism

If they had protested the radicals along with our efforts to fight the fundamentalists, hey, I'd have a different opinion.

What I remember about them here in the states is that we had a FBI muslim agent who refused to tape a conversation with one of the suspected fundamentalists as well as many saying they would never go to the authorities with info on another muslim. "Muslims don't betray Muslims" was the word of the day.

If the shoe fits, wear it..."

Every Islamic communications asset--including Al Jazeera--should be reduced to dust...yesterday. Including satellites and base stations.

As to this abomination...why isn't the FCC performing its duty and preventing its establishment?

An honorable businessman I know owns a local pharmacy that dispenses medicine to all Americans. He is an immigrant from Pakistan and a follower of Islam. He has condemned any and all that kill the innocent. I have talked with him about many things over the years. I've seen the tears as the man described how his father in law (a professor) was killed in the middle of the night. The mullahs came to his house and killed the man in front of his own family. I have seen the letters written to our Presidents that detail some of the individual rights abuses happening in the name of radical Islamic fundamentalism. He and his citizen children are American and part of the fabric of this great land. We both experienced the pain of 911. It still continues today.

I was thinking that the last time Italians complained there wasn't a single recurring Italian character on a sitcom or drama, etc, they got the Sopranos. Which, of course, made them angrier because they didn't think Sopranos accurately reflected the real Italian. I can just imagine what the Muslims might get if they, too, insist on having more Muslims in sitcoms or dramas, etc: Jihid Jimmy? I'd beware of looking to Hollyweird for reality and an accurate portrayal of anything!

Without gun-owners, or even guns in the United States there would still be crime here. Without a muslim population and free muslim visitation here, however, there would be no muslim terrorism. Also, while the organized gun-owning community is about the most anti-crime, anti-criminal community we have, the muslim community is the least condemnatory and most understanding group in the USA toward muslim terrorism and muslim terrorists.

More important for me, however, is that unlike so many groups with a few problematic members, the jury is still very much out on whether islam, as the ideology it is, will ever be compatible with Western liberal democracy. Until that jury's back I'd rather that we hold off on importing any more islam and that we ask muslim aliens here to leave - before we end up with a permanent mess on a scale that would make Ireland's "troubles" look tame by comparison.

How about Godless communists (socialist Democrat and Republicans) that have fostered the killing of over 30,000,000 countrymen through abortion. And lets not forget all those non-blue eyed, blond hair people.

[dagnabbit]

I don't recall stating anything about eyes and hair, but if there are some specific benefits to growing islam in this country that outweigh the dangers the ideology's adherents pose, please let me know -- Or more bluntly: What have the muslims brought us that was worth 9-11?

Using someone's religion as a factor in immigration is un-American.

the muslim community is the least condemnatory and most understanding group in the USA toward muslim terrorism and muslim terrorists.

I would argue that the American left is moreso or a close second, but I don't think they should be deported.
