And the Muslims that helped me hand out water after 9/11 with the Red Cross... they must have just been trying to get some inside info.

How dare they dance! Every Muslim must have been forewarned about the attack on the towers! They all knew ahead of time, every one of them right!

The Muslim dude in my local bodega dances with his bodega cat all the time. He must know something. FYI, Tripoli is a Lebanese restaurant. The majority of Lebanese people are actually Christians. Just because they're brown doesn't mean they're Muslim. Kind of strange you wouldn't know that being born and bred in NYC.

Hmm I'll say that your post is a load of b.s....You seem to know ever muslim in N.Y.

Oh and by the way...65% of Lebanon is Muslim and yes they were Muslims dancing in the street that day.

No, as a former New Yorker, you should know how diverse this city is, of course I interact with Muslims. I have Muslim friends, I have Muslim coworkers, Muslim people sell me food. What a shocker! Did you never go to a bodega or buy food off the street?

That's because the majority of the Christians in Lebanon emigrated to the US. Read up on it, it's pretty interesting.

Did you ask if they were Muslims? Do you HONESTLY think they had advance notice of the attacks? You think some secret Muslim broadcast went out so they'd all know ahead of time? Seriously?

I watched those "moderate muslims" dancing in the street (Atlantic ave & Clinton st--Tripoli Restaurant) on 9/11...Those towers were still up and most people didn't know at the time who or why attacked but in some "mysterious" way...they knew.

Another poster said about David Koresh....sure every 10 or 20 yrs some lunatic christain goes "off" but good lord every everyday muslims are protesting and screaming about killing westerners.

So please stop your B.S....again no such thing as moderate muslims!

Why you people give these nuts a pass...I'll never understand.
Perhaps that's why we have different viewpoints (I'm the one who mentioned Koresh) and i'm from kkkville and i can tell you where i'm orig. from which is even more conservative than where i live now, the christians are lunatics don't believe me go there with me sometime...a lot of social workers leave that area because of all the men raping their wives and stuff (no such thing as marital rape in their eyes because they're married and they'll even give scripture) 1 Cor. 7:3-4 if you would like to read it...they have militias all around here and they talk about when were gonna leave the union again and fight the U.S. so yes I do see extremists every day and not just once every 10 years...and I could give many more examples even that made the news between Koresh and now.

I don't like extremists of any type and it sounds like you've met more than your fair share but it wasn't because they were Muslim. I know a lot of conservative Christians that think that any think a Christian man does because God must have put it in his head. A personal story my dad used to read the Bible to her before he beat her. Why is it different when it's a Christian reading the Bible? And why do we make it sound like one bad apple but not when we meet a few nuts that are Muslim.

I have 2 Muslim friends I have been close friends with for over 20 years now, so I'd say it's working out pretty well. Pretty long time for them to be planning a Jihad.

It's pointless? Like I said, most Lebanese-Americans are Christian.

The world is not as black and white as you think it is. It's kind of scary that people like you think there is no such thing as a regular Muslim. It's as if I said every Christian was like the Westboro Church.

Again, do you truly think that these Muslims dancing in the street had advance notice of the attack on 9/11?

And their animals, what kind of animals did they have? Were they dancing as well?

Everyday...everyday Muslims are killing non-muslims,you people can't be so blind its impossible but maybe you choose to be.

Oh and by the way if your town is so crazy...moved,I did.

I think 20 years is long enough to know they are good people.

It's a little out there to claim that there is not one non extremist Muslim out there in this world.
