I appreciate your point, I really do, but one spy for Israel is not comparable to wave after wave after wave of Islamic violence with a body count in the thousands.How many have been American Muslims? A few here and there....no more significant than Pollard. American Muslims are who we're talking about here, with this stamp. Our own people.

You are living in a fantasy world. Except for a handful of brave souls, there has been no widespread, or even narrowly spread, condemnation of terrorism, much less Islamism, among Moslems in the U.S."American Muslims, who unequivocally condemned today terrorist attacks on our nation, call on you to alert fellow citizens to the fact that now is a time for all of us to stand together in the face of this heinous crime."
-September 11 letter to President Bush, signed by the leaders of the American Muslim Alliance, the American Muslim Council, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the Muslim American Society, the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Muslim Alliance in North America, and American Muslims for Jerusalem. These groups represent most of the seven million Muslims in the United States.

In reality we must judge people by their associations, to do otherwise is foolhardy.
No, but Germans did for the Kaiser and for Hitler, and the Japanese did so for the Emperor. There were millions of German and Japanese Americans, and virtually none of them sided with their home countries against their adopted nation. Folks come to America for a reason, and its usually because they believe they'll find a better life here, not because they hate us.
And Israel is our ally.
Yes. This week. And if the geopolitical situation changed and Israel were alligned with a different faction, what then? Do you really believe that American Jews would side against the United States? If so, you're living in la la land.
s for the Japanese, after Pearl Harbor, I think such questions were quite justified.
Why? Time and time again, throughout history, immigrant groups have sided with the United States against their home countries when hostilities commenced. Why didn't we inter Dwight David Eisenhower for possible German sympathies, instead of running a risk by putting him in the somewhat-sensitive position of Supreme Commander of Allied Forces?
ALL of them - EVERY one - from the very first word, is about how the poor Moslems are put upon. ALL of them prominently feature support for the Palestinians even though every day it is harder and harder to find even one Palestinian not bloody in tooth and claw. NONE have anything to say about the most recent bus bombing. At best they "applaud" the arrests of the snipers and then IMMEDIATELY, without even waiting for the blood to dry, launch into why this is going to cause more discrimination against Moslems.
The Moslems are such idiots they can't even get it together to lie about their ideology for half a page of text. You couldn't find a more feckless group of bloodthirsty jackasses.
Is that true? Then why the little Jenins and little Beruits in places like NJ and Mich? Why the convenience stores selling jihad tapes?
Our own people, are they? Mm-hm. When they become Muslim Americans instead of American Muslims, then maybe we can talk.
