I've not heard anything like that. You?

Just wondering...
Muslims should be raising MORE hell if anything. What they do to anyone else is no business of mine and I don’t care about it a bit.

But where Islamic Radicalism concerns this country, you folks love misrepresenting the picture. Why don’t you guys talk about what the American role has been in the radicalization of certain Muslim groups? Why don’t you talk about our support of brutal dictatorships in their region? Why don’t you talk about us overthrowing elected governments in the Middle East? Why don’t you talk about how we destabilized the region by unjustifiably invading and destroying Iraq, thereby screwing up the balance of power in the region.

Radical Islam didn’t just come out of nowhere. The Western Powers have been screwing over the Islamic Middle East for a century, and they’re tired of it. Before us, it was the British and the French making a mess of the region.

Sorry, but you don’t have the right NOT to face blowback just because you’re an American.

Oh...I get out plenty. You must have missed the many stories through the years of Muslims planning terror attacks in this country, who, very fortunately, were stopped before they did harm. Or of Muslims who have committed honor killings. Or the homegrown Muslims who ran off to the Middle East to join terrorist groups. Clearly, not all Muslims are "happy and successful". Do you have anything else to offer besides personal attacks?

Did I say that all Muslims are like that? There are educated Muslims who are secular. What I said was that Islam, as a religion, is stuck in the 11th century.

Where are all those peace loving Muslims? Why aren't they speaking out against terrorism loudly and clearly and in great numbers?

Oh no, not that again. Who is killing by the thousands in the name of the Old Testament TODAY?

Maybe you’re forgetting that we have tons of terrorist attacks in this country all the time. They aren’t being committed by Muslims though.

As far as Muslims planning terror attacks on this country, how about the ones we commit in their countries?

So killing people in the name of “national security” is superior to killing people in the name of religion?

Iraq has been destroyed. Torn to pieces. What was that done in the name of?

Where are these "tons of terrorist attacks in this country" that aren't being committed by Muslims? You are exaggerating.

I don't commit any terrorist attacks in any country, let alone Muslim countries. Who is this "we" you are talking about?

What, exactly, do you want? Do you want Muslims to get off scot-free when it comes to engaging in terror attacks?

Lol..seriously? We have mass shootings in this country about as often as we go out for pizza. If Muslims were the ones doing all these shootings, you’d damn sure be screaming terrorism.

And you’re telling that that the United States doesn’t commit terrorist attacks in the Middle East?

What is with the Midwest and Islam? Michigan is famous for its large Muslim population and its infamous city of dearbornistan. Now we see inroads in another upper Midwest state...Minnesota. Why are they attracted to this part of America? After all it’s nothing like their hot desert homeland, in fact it’s the opposite.....the two Midwest states are a land of lakes, forest and ice cold weather. Just curious, why are they congregating there?

We DO have the right not to import primitive, Middle East savagery into this nation. They can go ahead slaughtering infidels, keeping slaves, brutalizing women and raping children as they have done since Mohammad-just NOT HERE. You want to embrace a political system that makes the Nazis look like Boy Scouts, do in somewhere they have already turned into a craphole. We didn't import Nazis when we were fighting them, we shouldn't import Islamists now.
