No, I refuse to acknowledge false proclamations from liars. CAIR is duplicitous in their words, and deeds, and have a track record of saying one thing, and doing another.
Glad to see evidence matters not to you.
I know that Muslim Americans dies on 9/11, I like how on the one hand you chastise me for looking at the problem as a generalization, yet because Muslims were killed on 9/11 you want me to take at face value that ALL muslims are peaceful and loving members of civil action.
And you're saying that the actions of a few, that you take as face value that ALL muslims are barbaric terrorists in training.
The grand majority of Muslims across the world did hold vigils in support of us on 9/11, but you have to realize the scope of Islam. 1.2 Billion. Now I have seen estimates that upwards of 10% are radicalized, even here in the US, (See Red House VA.) that would be 120 million radicals spread out across the world. Or if you wish, equal to a third of the population of the United States. That is a damned lot of people!
Honestly, your definition of radical is probably so wide it encompasses half the US (or anyone Obama nominates
) You've overused the word radical at almost every turn since the great elections debates on Whistlestopper 2 years ago.
Care to show me proof of that number btw?
I don't hate all Muslims, that would just be plain silly.
You know what else is silly? Judging them by the actions of a few. :mrgreen:
But since we are throwing out silly accusations here, why don't you just come out and say that you hate America
Why would I say that? I love American Football, Baseball, Vegas, Disneyland etc.
For what you perceive as wrongs done throughout our history
You know I hate to break it to you. But if you think America has NEVER done anything wrong, you're wrong. I see some parts of America wanna just forget about some of the things that are part of your countries history, such as slavery or Mcarthyism.
As A South African, I accept the bad and good facets of my history, they are all part of me, and I simply cannot escape that. It's what we choose to do with that history, do we learn from it or not?
and that you think, like Imam Rauf, that we are an accomplice to 9/11. That you think we somehow deserved what happened on that day, and that you are willing to dimmi yourself in the hopes that that 10% of radicals will leave us alone.
So defending the guys private property rights makes me all that? Excellent
I am certainly no scholar of Islam, but waring between sects has been a centuries problem. I guess you get that when a religious following starts out with kill all who don't believe like I do. In any case my concern is focused on what their intent is with us, not each other.

You know I AM a particular scholar of humanity. And if you're such a peaceful, good, civilized christian society...
What's with all the wars, bombings, illegal wire-tappings, illegal search and seizures, torture and extra-ordinary rendition...
Do you actually understand that your country has killed and imprisoned more innocent people since 9/11, then died on 9/11? and no, i'm not implying you're like the terrorists, just something to think about.
You have locked up citizens of my countries with little or no evidence FOR YEARS. Some have been released, some have not. But they have the right to have their case heard by a jury and evidence presented.
