We're not racist to Islam. Also, Islam is not a race. It's a religion. \nWe just hate the extremists who want to see you and me dead because we are Christian.

Absolutely not, it is against our Constitution with freedom of religion. I am not Islamic, but that would be certain suicide since there are 5 to 1 Muslims, against Christians in this world. Most of America is a failure to Christianity anyway, as to what it really takes to be a Christian.

Oh come on!! are you questioning the patriotism of American Muslims! \n\nI am glad u asked this question because I assume many americans have similar thoughts but never really expressed them. My answer to you is yes we will fight for our country. Why, because the war against terror is not against muslims, it is against terrorists who use Islam as their political justification. The killing of innocent civilians is a major sin in Islam, a sin that is unforgivable. I read a few months ago that there are more than 18,000 muslim recruits fighting for the U.S army in both Iraq and Aghanistan, we will fight for our country and for all its people no matter what their religion, race is. Islam does not discriminate, all people are equal.

Islam attacked us first. The Democrats are keeping us dependent on foreign oil. Did you forget 911, 1993 WTC Bombing.\n1979 U.S. Embassy Bombing,1982 U.S. Embassy Bombing,1983 U.S Marine barracks blown up, 1985 American Tourist 69 years old shot and thrown overboard. There are many more American killings by Islam Extremest. May God have mercy on you for being so ignorant. If you want cheap gas tell your Libleft to vote yes on Our oil instead of NO!,\n  I'm not ashamed of AMERICA I'm ashamed of Kennedy,Hillary,Murtha, Kerry, Byrd and several others who take Our dirty laundry and spread it across the globe. I'm ashamed of the way the LIbLeft have condemned Our soldiers before they go to trial, I'm ashamed of you for believing the crap the Democrats put out there just because they are mad at their selves for losing the elections!\nThey have done nothing but slam the President and slam America. They have no respect for this country and what this country stands for. They have no respect for the soldiers past and present that have died for you and this country.\nWe have a bad reputation because of idiots like Carter,Murtha,Clinton and the rest of the clintonites! Get a life you idiot! Maybe you should go see a Micheal Moore or an Al Gore movie in your spare time!

You said: "Europe is becoming Muslim, because of lax immigration policies and much larger birthrates among Muslims (France is already more than 25% Muslim), and in the near future the United Nations will be an Islamic institution."\n\nWe don't do much of anything the UN says now except when it is what we tell the UN we're going to do, so what threat is there in the UN becoming Islamic?  If the UN tells us to, for example, quit torturing and kidnapping terrorist suspects, do you think we do it?  Nope.\n\nYou said "And while the majority of Muslims are moderate, everywhere you have Islam you are going to have jihadists who want to kill Westerners."\n\nIn fact, in most cases the jihadists have two problems with the US which we could easily avoid.  First, our carte blanc support for Israel.  Second, occupation of or war against Islamic nations such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Afghanistan.  If our foreign affairs were not formulated and conducted by neo-con Jews who refuse to do anything to rein in Israel, and if we would quit invading, destroying and occupying islamic nations for no other reason than we feel like it, the jihadists would leave us alone.  I know you call that appeasement but it's not.\n\nYou said "Iran, a radical Islamic state, is on the verge of having nuclear weapons, and we saw what 19 Islamic radicals with airline tickets did on 9/11."\n\nIran did not seriously begin work on nukes until Bush infamously listed them as the axis of evil along with North Korea and Iraq AND we invaded Iraq.  They have as much right to defend themselves as we do, and since we have nukes, they really only have one option to defend themselves against us: build nukes.\n\nYou said "So why do so many Americans have their head in the sand about the war on terror?"\n\nAmericans are beginning to wake up to the fact that the Bush administration are the terrorists, not Islamists.  So in that regard, you're right, many Americans have their heads in the sand but they're gradually pulling them out.\n\nYou said "Islamic jihadists want Democrats to win this election and have stated as much. How can anyone vote for Democrats when they will do nothing but appease our enemy?"\n\nI hadn't heard this.  Cite a source.  Last I heard they were grateful for the Bush administration trying to scare everyone for them, which is the main purpose of terrorism.  Democrats have no intention of appeasing anyone, either the Islamists or the Repugs.\n\nYou said "If you vote Democrat and should Democrats win this election, after Muslims take to dancing in the streets (the same way they danced after 9/11), how long will it take you to regret your vote?"  \n\nWhen the Repugs won in 2002 and 2004 the Islamists were dancing in the streets because they knew it meant more pointless, wasteful war and less actual securing our borders.  It turns out they were right.  I think they will be dancing in the streets on Wednesday not because the Dems won, but because the Repugs won.

No. Never. It is a false propoganda started by Muslims and joined by the political rivals of Bush in USA with the presidential election in view.

I think it's a very noble cause that you are wanting to undertake. Pray, my friend, and God will help you. I am not a Muslim but I respect Islam and I know it must hard for you being an American Muslim. I am so sorry for the way Muslims are treated in our country. It is not the American way. I think if you keep your faith strong and pray often that God or Allah will make it happen for you. God speed, friend. Tina, Houston, Texas

You're preaching to the chorus my man.  If you want the west to accept Islam then you have to convince the dangerous radicals that Islam is a religion of peace.  Don't tell us, tell them.  The only thing we care about is not being blown up.

I read a similar question earlier and saw a very good answer by\ncrao-craz. I am going to copy and paste his anwer.\n\nI'm an American. I think most Americans believe that Muslims are like people everywhere. Most of them are nice people, but a few are fanatics.\n\nMy personal belief is that, because of Islam's history of military conquest, kidnapping, and extreme punishment of criminals, Muslim fanatics are violent. If Islam is the "religion of peace," as we here in America are told by our President and others, then why haven't peaceful Muslims risen up against the terrorists who are defaming their religion? I don't understand that.\n\nWhen American soldiers abused prisoners at Abu Gahrib, they were tried and convicted of crimes. Some of them are in jail now and others are waiting for trial.\n\nI looks like American soldiers killed 24 civilians in Hadditha. This is heartbreaking for Americans! If the investigation shows that this is what happened, these soldiers will be tried and convicted. They will probably receive life sentences.\n\nWhen Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa to kill Salaman Rushdie for writing a novel, other Imams and Ayatollahs failed to denounce Khomeni. Why didn't the average Muslim oppose him? If they love peace, why didn't they fight Kohmeni's hatred?\n\nSince fatwas to kill people are acceptable to Muslims, the terrorists could be eliminated by several prominent Imams and Ayatollahs issuing fatwas (1) telling Muslims that sheltering or otherwise aiding terrorists was a sin and (2) telling Muslims to kill terrorists and those who shelter or aid them.\n\nIf Muslims love peace, why do they allow hatred and terrorists to live among them?

Any person who declares their faith in Islam these days needs to know they won't be the most popular kid on the block. The tragedy of September 11th, is something that will never be forgotten and unfortuneately it's perpetrators were Arabs. No matter how vehemently any Muslim would seek to explain the differences between true Islam and Arab nationalism, it simply won't wash with your average American. It's all the same in just about everyone's eyes. So whomever is truly seeking to become a muslim nowadays better know, He or she is surely going to be tested for their faith.

Excellent Question!!\n\nThe Real Problem Between the USA and Muslims is that the USA supports the Ruthless Israeli Occupation of Palestine and that it occupies Iraq through lies and deception.\n\nThe USA lied to the Muslims and Muslims don't like liars. \n\nIf the US APOLOGIZED for supporting the invasion of Palestinian lands and apologized for punishing the Iraqis for having a leader they helped install, then Muslims will love America, like they did before America's lies began to surface since 1990.\n\nI remember when Muslims world-wide were looking up to America, this was before we started to reveal our claws... and before we started to scratch and stab our Arab allies. \n\nMuslims would love the US if the US wasn't such a hypocrate... calling for freedom yet supporting the occupation of Palestinian lands!

Firstly by appearing the truth of Islam and approving that there is nothing in Quran or the prophet Muhammed's teachings calls for terrorizing others. And secondly to approve that Islam came to orgnize people's life based on respect and giving others their rights. Finally it is very important for American imperialism to realize that the US plans & strategies that led to the war in the middle East is the main reason that Muslims there decided to react against.

A LOT of Muslims need to get their stories straight. Its proven ISLAM means "SUBMIT" or "SUBMISSION" - not Peace.\n\nThe correct context of early ISLAM was "Submit to Allah of die". Anything else is a watered down "variation" of Islam painted up to look pretty and acceptable to gullible westerners.\n\nI'm not trying to be hostile or insultive - just stating the facts. And seeing that the U.E. and Egyptian Mullahs have given permission to lie to Americans and to curse Americans.., (a matter of documentation for Muslims traveling in the US) I see little reason to believe anyone saying Islam is a religion of peace.

Well, this "flag waving moron" right here, thinks that if the dems get their way, we shall soon look like Spain and France.  Crippled by terrorism.\n\nMuslim at 20-25% of the world's religion right now.  Why haven't we heard from them?
