There are tens of thousands of them bravely serving in the military right this second. Many more are working as translators or intelligence agents in the CIA, DoD, and State Department.

And informants for NYPD and the FBI.

Also--tulips! I'm of Dutch descent, so we plant tulips and it's the Netherlands biggest export crop, but they originally came from Turkey.

they are masters of suicide bombings.

almost everyday now i turn on the news and hear of some muslims blowing up other muslims in the name of allah

if they just could scrap the sharia law that governs their everyday existance, i think they would be some of the most hospitable people on the planet..

And almost every day I turn on the News and see Americans killing their own neighbors...for no apparent reason...boredom apparently... Funny how people are blind to the violence that happens here committed by non-muslims, just Americans, but how those same people are so hyper obsessed with Muslims that kill overseas....I guess its just that citizens in other countries warrant more media attention than the our American brothers and sisters....Not saying that any killing is alright, but seriously people, don't be so blind to everything else that happens in OUR OWN COUNTRY, and act like Muslims are the only violent people in the world.

THE GREATEST THREAT TO AMERICAN SOCIETY AT THIS VERY MOMENT IS AMERICAN SOCIETY!

Aviation (landing could use some work), cell phones, chemistry, improvising devices, oppression and acquiescing to its more radical brethren?

Would that be "inglourious bastids" or just the common ungrateful type? Have you ever entertained the thought that, much like we lilly-white Christians are trying to do,
those Muslims are only trying to survive in a world that is changing at an unbelievable rate? What, save the political jingo and the indignant sabre-rattling, are most
"red blooded and true blue, Americans" left to do? A handful of misguided islamic terrorists took down and decimated our Trade Center, the financial "heart" of our country
but it was our own politicians who buried us in corporate terrorism, calculatedly hijacking our financial system and bring about a greater degree of destruction than all of
the bricks, glass and steel of the Twin Towers that some renegade faction of the Islamic faith could ever have managed to do.

How do you think the American Indian felt, once he discovered that our American Cavalry was issuing blankets, covered with smallpox and given to them after they had been
rounded up and shoved into the reservations? How did we make those American Japanese feel as we, we shoved them into those buses and trains, sending them to interment camps,
not too far removed from Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belsen-Bergen, Hitler's answer to the progressive, latter-day likes of Guantamo Bay?

All too many of us are unrighteously indignant, we see the spilled blood of 4,000 citizens in New York but are dis-compassionate when realizing that the numbers of innocents
lying dead, many in mass graves, thousands of miles from our surburban doorsteps are somehow justified even though we are fully and smugly aware of the fact that it wasn't
ourselves who aimed the smart-bomb or the rocket propelled grenade, our guilt is the guilt of selling out our principles to a class of warmongering leaders who have expedited an
agenda that now comes back to bite us in the ass and serves the politicians in the intended manner, taking our eyes off of the real cause of ruination of our society, their own
incompetance, ineptitude and gross mismanagement.

I could never justify the tragedy of 9/11 but by the same token Ill also never forgive nor forget that in the months before the terrorists came for us, that we were warned. It was the
smug incompetence, negligence and "business as usual" attitude, a posture and school of thought, that has somehow been inculcated, administration after administration within our
own internal security agencies and people like George Tennant and Condomleeza Rice, who are the ones who validly deserve the brunt of our ever- increasing anger.

I've lived long enough to see Emmett Till hung from a tree, black school children blown to bits in Birmingham, JFK assassinated, nursery school children wiped out by a demoniacal
Christian misfit there in Oklahoma, Anthrax mailed to our nations capitol and too many other examples to mention.
As Jesus was purported to say, 'Before you tell me to take that splinter from my eye, you must be willing to remove that rafter from your own eye.'

The parting statement of my unhesitant point, is that just when you think that you've seen it all, a closer look will prove that in a comparative sense, you really ain't seen nothing yet.

Yes there is something that makes them different than the Germans who went after the same target as the Muslims do (let's not forget that Muslims hate the Jewish people every bit as much as the Nazis).

We went to war against the Nazis. Not only that, Nazis were not allowed to move into the USA and take over but Muslims certainly are.
