WELL, last night we went to the local fair and came across a muslim booth. My husband and I asked the guys in the booth all the questions we always wanted to ask and everything they said backed up the stuff we read here on FR.

So are you saying that this means all Muslims are just like this? What if you had met a group of Muslims who said that those other Muslims you talked to were full of crap? Which group would you believe? Or what if you had gone to the Rev. Fred Phelps booth. Does he represent all of Christianity?

So are you saying that this means all Muslims are just like this?

I am saying that these muslims were there to represent the Islamic Information Center of Seattle.

They said that there were no muslims involved in the planes that were flown into the WTC. When I brought up the flight attendant who had called in the seat numbers to someone from the plane, seat numbers of the hijackers, they dismissed that too by saying that's what they said on tv, but they didn't believe it.

The booth was set up to provide information to the public about their religion. They had a tv going in the background with mecca on-screen and zillions of info pamphlets of which I took a few.

I think this means that to find stories like the ones you read about which slam the muslims, you don't have to go to Iraq or Afghanistan. You can find muslims right here in Seattle, ones chosen to represent their religion in a public setting, who will tell you all the same things you read in the articles about them.

This strongly indicates to me that it is all true, that the average joe-blow muslim on the street is saying and thinking the same things as the ones cheering the fall of the WTC in Pakistan.

The evil is pervasive and deeply sown. The loyalty they have to each other far exceeds what we have to each other as Americans. We need to wise up and get a clue. Especially you.

perhaps i should clarify:

in a big part of the country, until shown evidence/attitudes to the contrary,
those with any common sense are prejudicial toward muslims.

shocking to you, i'm sure, but a stone fact in this household ...
