Innocent until proven guilty is still the law of the land (unless you are a conservative of course being constantly smeared) and one would hope every court room practices it. No one is saying every single Muslim is a terrorist, but what you are suggesting is that we call millions of Muslims liars. Their goal has been world conquest by the sword and deceit for centuries. You seem to think that publicly and repeatedly stating they want our destruction, and then backing it up by piracy, slave taking and extortion when the U.S. was young, allying themselves with Nazis, fascists and totalitarian systems during World War II, and in modern times high-jackings, flying planes into buildings, beheadings and murdering people all in the name of Allah somehow lacks evidence of their true purpose. And that is of course only the violent, terrorist jihad. There is still the stealth civilization jihad using propaganda, the buying of influence with politicians and donations to universities to promote Islam, along with litigation to try to force any criticism of Islam to cease, or financially break those who would try. And deceit is central to achieving their goals. I guess you don't consider ANY of these things as evidence of their repeatedly stated intent. Do you require a judge to render a verdict on jihad to make it real. Everyone should get the benefit of the doubt, at least once, but we are way past doubt with Islamic jihad.

Islam as it now stands and has its goal from day one is world domination. The very worst of these is the religion and politics becoming as one.In this case their god "Allah" has little to do with the Judo Christian God. Islam claims it to be the same and a person named Mohamad claims to be the last prophet. One can almost believe that, but actions prove different, and Islam over the centuries have been anything but 'Godly' centuries ago they attempted to conquer the 'holy lands' and were routed by the Christian crusades. Sometime later they actually succeeded in conquering a weak and primitive Spain.It took some time but they would eventually be routed out and back to the middle east prayer rugs and all from whence they came.Now would it stand to reason that if they were "Gods" people they would have been more successful? now we are into the twentieth century and Islam is once again on the march to world domination. And once again "it stands to reason" that it must be stopped and destroyed. This is not a "religion of peace" If you were to believe that then I have a billion "prayer rugs" I would like to sell you, as you'll be needing them. Wake up America they are doing all they can to destroy this once great nation along with the rest of the world as we know it. Remember President Lincolns words in 1862.He stared that if we were to be conquered it would be from within, and "these bastards" ( Patton's words)are now within our system of things .click the download just below

We've recently seen the results of a new study called Muslims for American Progress. Commissioned by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, the study is considered the first of its kind, offering a broad look at Muslim contributions to the state of Michigan. It examines the ways Muslims have improved Michiganders' lives over the last five years in such areas as engineering, civics, economic development, medicine, philanthropy, arts and even sports.


The study found that Muslims constitute about 1 percent of the U.S. population, and about 2.75 percent of Michigan's. Given the community's small size, another key finding is understandable: Most Americans say they don’t know a Muslim. And when media content analysis reports that more than 80 percent of U.S. media coverage of Islam and Muslims is negative, the report says this “opens the door for a narrow media image to distort public perceptions of this diverse community.

That's where this study works to correct many of those misperceptions, especially in our state. In fact, the study's findings demonstrate a wealth of contributions to the economic, cultural, and political life of Michigan, which has been a magnet not just for Muslims from the Middle East, but from South Asia, West Africa, and Muslim communities from around the world.


Professionally speaking, Michigan's Muslims punch well above their weight. More than 15 percent of Michigan's medical doctors are Muslim, as are more than 10 percent of all pharmacists, more than 7 percent of all dentists, 6.9 percent of podiatrists, and 6.1 percent of osteopaths. These Muslim medical professionals provide 1.6 million appointments to patients per year, indirectly support 39,987 jobs, and fill more than 15 million retail drug prescriptions annually.

Michigan Muslims also have a serious philanthropic streak. In 2015, donations from Michigan Muslims to charity totaled more than $177 million of money, 650 tons of food, 45,000 articles of clothing, 14,000 gallons of water, and much more. In fact, The average Michigan Muslim household spent 18 percent more in charity in 2015 than the average U.S. household.

When it comes to the STEM sector, where women are vastly underrepresented, holding only 24 percent of all STEM jobs in the United States, the study finds that Muslim women are leading the way to gender parity. They're also spurring new developments in their respective areas of expertise, which the study illustrates with profiles of a half-dozen Muslim women working in such areas as highway safety, robotics, computer science, particle physics, and environmental remediation.

Perhaps most interesting to the average Michigander are the statistics on business and economics. The report finds that American Muslims constitute a whopping $5.5 billion of the consumer spending to Michigan's economy. Compared to the nation generally, in 2015 Michigan Muslim households spent 20 percent more in total, including four times as much on education and twice as much on apparel and services. For that same year, the report finds that Muslims owned at least 35,835 businesses in Michigan, about 4.18 percent of all small businesses in the state, employing approximately 100,000 Michiganders.

The report finds a community that, far from being the threatening caricature often presented in mass media, is not only generous, industrious, creative, and skilled, but also extremely diverse.

There used to be a law that stated ...innocent until proven guilty ... that has all changed after 911 especially concerning Muslims... It's not that I don't understand your points & for the most part & agree concerning new immigration but our laws were intended to protect "ALL" American citizens... You either support our Constitution or appeal for a change... this is better understood if you put yourself in an American Muslim shoes... I'm not a Muslim by any means but an Independent American who honors our laws & concepts of what America should be... this is a huge issue here @ home witnessing what's happening in Europe... America should never change to accommodate foreigners... they must adapt if they choose to live here...If they desire Shira law they are free to leave & find it somewhere else... but we must not unjustly condemn All Muslims for being Muslim... that's not how America rolls...for the most part the Patriot Act has already stripped many protections to begin with allowing the Feds to do what they deem necessary whether just or not ... Mob rule generated from fear is not what we are all about...looking abroad, with James Mattis @ the helm all that's required is faith not fear...
