I never made any assumptions. Agreeing with a woman media person in America who thinks we should invade muslim countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity is dangerous and immoral.

Reverse the words christian and muslim (islam) in that sentence and I think people in America might consider that a terroristic comment. Publishing that statement in the newspaper might even get one arrested under the patriot act.

One more thing. Are you aware of what religion people that live in Turkey are by the way????

Oh don't bother with HER Keith - she is just an All-American girl. Now, more importantly ....CAN YOU COOK A GOOD BREAKFAST?

Is the US going mad? Should we follow their example?

Controversy and Criticism
Many Muslim Americans especially have been criticized for supporting terrorism, fundamentalist ideas or views which are contrary to the American society and mindset. In Minneapolis, Minnesota, some Muslim cab drivers have refused passengers carrying alcoholic beverages or dogs (including disabled passengers with guide dogs). There are reported incidents in which Muslims cashiers in grocery stores have refused to sell pork products.

The largest Muslim civil rights organization in America, CAIR has been accused of supporting terrorism. The University of Michigan-Dearborn and a public college in Minnesota has also been criticized for accommodating Islamic prayer rituals by constructing footbaths for Muslim students using tax payers money. This exception made only for Muslims goes against the college's long standing policy of not promoting religion and also against the US Constitution.

A San Diego public elementary school is being heavily criticized for accommodating of American Muslims by adding Arabic to its curriculum and giving breaks for Muslim prayers. By making these exceptions only for Muslims, the school is being criticized for either endorsing Islam or crossing the line separating the church and the state, which is unacceptable for a public school in a multi-religious American society.

The first American Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison has openly compared President George W. Bush to Hitler and said that he might be responsible for 9/11 attacks.

A 2006 poll conducted by the Pew Research Center, it was discovered that 26% of American Muslims under the age of 30 supported suicide bombings against civilian targets often or at least in some circumstances. Among those over the age of 30, 13% expressed their support for the same. (9% of Muslims over 30 and 5% under 30 chose not to answer). Based on these findings, Fox News and Yahoo News have reported that one out of four young U.S. Muslims believe homicide bombings against civilians are OK to 'defend Islam,'.

Yahoo News further reports that the same poll has also uncovered other disturbing findings. It has been discovered that only 40 percent of U.S. Muslims believe that Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks. Another 28 percent don't believe it - and 32 percent said they had no view. Among 28 percent who doubted that Arabs were behind the conspiracy, one-fourth claim the U.S. government or President George Bush was responsible. Only 26 percent of American Muslims believe the U.S.-led war on terror is a sincere effort to root out international terrorism. Five percent of those surveyed had a "very favorable" or "somewhat favorable" view of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. Only 35% of American Muslims stated that the decision for military action in Afghanistan was the right one and 12% supported the use of military force in Iraq. It was also discovered in the same poll that only 28% of American Muslims identify themselves as American first. Others choose to identify themselves as Muslims.

What are you doing here? Scoring off eachother? Showing who can tell the best anti-stories? Oofff, what a kindergarten suddenly!

Yep you are right Trudy. Enough!

hi every one
i did not like to participate in this discussion so there is one remark must be known to everyone, already mentioned to some friends here, what happened in 11 September in America or then in London or so in Iraq now are by people who are Muslims only in name and doing so distorted the principles of Islam is mercy and peace , because Islam rejects the killing of innocent self, which is not in the war whatever the Jewish or Christian,or any religions,so the Islamic religion tolerant is innocent of those killers, even everyone knows that greet of Islam is a peace to you ,I hope this is an end to all discussions on terrorism which accused always the Arabs and Muslims in wrong of course ,so please change your view about Islam
