Agreed. But why are so many troubled and deranged individuals Muslims? Is it a religion or a mental illness? Unfortunately, for every hundred who whines about backlash, there is one who stands up for America and denounces those who kill in the name of religion.
What would the reaction of the Muslim world be if a crazed group of Christian fundamentalists took over a plane and crashed it into downtown Mecca?
Guess their moon god just wasn't listening!
John Allen Muhammad worked as a security man at the Nation of Islam's "Million Man March" in Washington.
That fact needs to be repeated as many times as possible.
There ought to be a law against the racebaiting and fearmongering from the left. The DNC frightened many young inner city children by telling them horrendous lies before the 2000 election - telling them that Republicans would make them slaves - they cried when President Bush won. That's front page newsworthy, BBC!
There was a very funny post here, describing the absurdity of CAIRs claims. Check it out:
Why do I have a hard time picturing this?
if they want to be respected, they can speak out against their murderous bretheren and fight for the mideastern governments to stop supporting terrorism. they are not the victims here -- but if they insist on playing the role, i'm sure there are plenty who would not mind helping make it a little more authentic.

"We are concerned that because a suspect in this case has the last name of Muhammad, American Muslims will now face scapegoating and bias," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair).
Not only that name thing, he is also a muslim, like most of the people causing problems world wide.
He cautioned the media not to engage in speculation about the sniper based on religious stereotypes.
That is the medias right. Especially if the towel fits.
"The American Muslim community should not be held accountable for the alleged (yeah, right) criminal actions of what appear to be troubled and deranged individuals," Mr Awad said.
Especially if they are muslims, as usual.
Anti-Muslim discrimination.
Is understandable when normal people learn about the religion of murder.
Some incidents were particularly violent. In the state of Ohio, a man slammed his truck into a mosque near Cleveland.
Some incidents were particularly violent. In the state of New York, 19 muslims slammed our planes into 3 buildings murdering 3000 people.
Stay safe; stay armed.

Oh really, some of us interpreted the silence of the Muslim community on both this and 9/11 as something other than condemnation. This writer has an active fantasy life...
Maybe they should try praying to God.
Maybe they should try praying that they will fulfill God's will rather than that the Moongod of Arabia will fulfill their will.
(But if they do, they'd better not let anyone know it. Their fellow Muslims will murder them.)
Thank God for President Bush.
