LOL WTF I shouldn't even have quoted this. Has the OP and this SourD person MET any Muslims?

I laugh because this is ridiculous... but I cry because it is also scary. Hating people because of a religion is how you end up with bloodshed. I enjoy having my blood safely encased in my body.

My experience with Muslims is through dance, food and travel. I had SO MUCH fun trying to dance Debke in Middle Eastern restaurants, and for the past 10 or so years "bellydance" has really enriched my life. In my travels all I saw are that Muslims (like Everyone else in the world) think America is Great!

This is not stuff I saw on TV, but stuff I saw in real life.

I went to Egypt during Ramadan with my husband and DID NOT cover my head. Even a Saudi guy w his kid smiled at us during Iftar. Even Christians in Muslim countries celebrate Ramadan. And it is fun and sort of like Christmas. Festive, good food etc. Nobody LOL tried to blow me up or spit on me because I wasn't covered.

I am probably as likely to get killed or beaten up in the US.

Anyway, CD has been pissing me off today. What's with all the negativity, guys. So many bad things are going on, let's get along and have fun at least online...

Guys, muslims even drink alcohol and drugs , dance in discos and do things just like Americans...even the ones in the Middle East. A lot of them don't like fundamentalists just like we Christians don't like those people who blow up abortion clinics...

Sheesh...Randa Kamal says "Chillax" *shimmies*

According to Obama in his recent speech "Islam has always been part of our American family". He sounds like a devoted Christian, doesn't he?

This isn't true. Our country was 90% White up until the 1970s when a heavily lobbied for bill (by certain interest groups...), the 1965 immigration act which turned our country into the multi-racial place we have today.

Muslims have only been here recently. I don't know why we feel the need to pretend all races had an equal contribution to this country.

Islam isn't a race

In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.

And who cares what you think? You're obviously wrong. I'd thoroughly school you on this, but I know that your brand of bigotry is unaffected by rational thought.

Roy, there you go again fabricating information. Obama DID NOT STOP NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER. Again, it was held privately within the White House. I'm convinced you are now blatantly lying. The first time you made this comment and I correct you, I chucked it off as a mistake, but come on twice?

Well, consider George Bush's ambassador to the UN. He's a Muslim.

But I guess you knew that.

In 1860 America was 66% white and remained less than 80% white until 1910. In 1960 the US was 82% white. If it makes any difference.

You're just wrong.
