How many of us were outraged by the "deafening silence" from the Muslim community after 9/11?
Now they are speaking out. Why does everyone have a problem with that?
We have had no attacks here in the US since 9/11. Surely if all of the American Muslims don't mean it then we would have had more attacks?
Look, every time I see an Arab I think about terrorists and 9/11. I'm immediately suspicious of them as I'm sure most people here are. I can't help it. The fact is though, most Muslims are ok people and love the USA just as much as the rest of us and are just as much against terrorist attacks here as the rest of us. I have to remind myself of that every time I see an Arab-looking person.
The ones that aren't ok have virtually no support in this country, even from the Muslim community.
Not all Arabs and Muslims are terrorists. Not all support terrorism. Those that do are very few in number in this country.
It's just wrong to lump them all together. Flame away.
Thank you. I get so tired of the foaming-at-the-mouth "all Muslims are evil terrorists" rants on here. I'll admit to having the suspicions too but that's just the survival instinct kicking in.
Tarring all Muslims with the terrorist brush just demonstrates ignorance, IMO.
P.S. I lived in Pearland a few years back. ;-)
I worked with 13 muzzies around 9-11. Half thought we deserved it. The other half were indifferent at best!!
But virtually all terrorists are muslim Arabs.
