A young Muslim man, who refused to give his name, shows his feelings toward the media outside the Federal Court House in Buffalo, New York September 18, 2002 where he sat to show his support for the six local suspected al Qaeda supporters who appeared inside the court, September 18, 2002. The six men have been charged with providing material support to al Qaeda from nearby Lackwanna, New York. Reuters/Mark Dye

First of all, there's likely no where near 3 million muslims.  You only get near that number if you include all those in prison who see islam as an excuse for a cool hat and a new name, and possibly, a way to pi$$ off whitey.  Their commitment to islam tends to last just until the ribs start smelling good at the "Welcome Home Malik" party.
 
The real hard core muslims are fitting in quite nicely though.  Aided by their suicidal friends in the MSM and W telling us that islam is "a religion of peace", their sleeper cells remain undisturbed.

Isnt it interesting how the muslims have gained "power" as a political group post 9/11? Attack america and you gain political power in the eyes of the media!! These sick f*cks....

No one ever cared about the who they were going to vote for, but in the 2004 election the media continually said things like
"who are the muslims going to vote for?"
"what do the political parties have to do to get the muslim vote?"
"they're not voting for george bush because he started an unjust war in iraq"

Still, and I don't want to tempt fate here, but one would hope they're too intimidated to try anything. I know they certainly haven't done much up here yet, perhaps they are waiting to be emboldened by bigger numbers. There's about 500,000 up here, but I don't really see them as much of a group - yet. Then again, they all live in the outskirts, and I never go there.

That pretty well sums up my feelings for the media too.

For different reasons though.

"There's a lack of space for Muslims to contribute to the political and social spheres," Marayati says, "and you end up with an exclusion of the American Muslim voice."

The bloodcurdling "Muslim voice" is not only anathema to ANY other "voice" in American political/social spheres, but incompatible with the entire Founders' Constitution and premise of "freedom." Period.

IF they can't get elected and don't like it, then let 'em hump the next camel to...Europe.

It only took 19 of them, only about 4 of whom were willing participants, to cause 9-11 and kill thousands.

Conflicting to say the least.

Escort the 3 million muslims to any muslim country and let them continue their religion with others of their own kind.

Hopefully the Muslim double-finger man was indicted and joined his friends shortly after that photo was taken.

I have friends who are second generation Pakastani-Americans. You couldn't find a nicer family. Conservative, family-value types. Perhaps some of the stereotypes posted here aren't quite accurate...

In Maine they don't fit in & don't try. They're only here for the welfare and, IMHO, as sleepers......

I think this yellow bellied coc*-sucker should be the first contestant in the new "Reality" gameshow called Sharp Sword. First he sticks one of those fingers in each ear, then a big biker named Scooter removes a hardbound copy of the Quran from a toilet, beats him senseless with it, and whops off his head with a hatchet. We time Muhammad to see how long he can keep his head from hitting the ground. Paradise for the winner.

Yea right. He probably is on welfare, has a green card, and is signed up on all kinds of social programs to get freebies.

I was in prison with a big biker named Scooter who was a Bandido. He beat a government snitch to death by beating him over the head with a VCR, so your idea is not really that far fetched!

With Howard Dean the dems have formally graduated from "disarray" to "debacle", with "irretrievable disaster" just around the corner.
