Why Did Most Americans believe George W.: "Islam is a religion of Peace?" (Page 2): I think you're right about that. Based on the Muslims around the world, and in our own country...

I think you're right about that. Based on the Muslims around the world, and in our own country, celebrating the attack on "the great Satan "

I can only say That I once had a Muslim friend. He was a contractor like me. Every body liked him and he was an excellent craftsman. When the twin towers fell he emptied his bank account and sent the money to New Yorks' Fire department. People who had always had him to do their work cut him off because of his ethnicity and he was not a practicing Muslim. He left here after more than 25 years of being a friend.... Who was the bad person in this case?

The instance you give, sadly, is prejudice plain and simple

Certainly it wasn't your friend who did anything wrong. People went a little nuts after 9/11 and every Muslim became a target.

Read it again Perma. Yeah there are many things in our Bible that make one scratch their heads. All I know is what's happening in Europe and Germany. Not good Perma.

I was about to go one by one on those.. but now in one lump..

Yes, I agree that Europe truly has problems with the ME and North Africa refugees..

I also have no idea how they should have done it to reduce the problems.

I very much feel we need border security.. but I do not think the answer is the wall..

Heck, -30 degrees... that must have been after it started warming up..

They keep saying more snow coming,, so far we have only about 3 inches up in this area, lots of wind howling outside..

I watched some of the traffic mess this am on tv.. glad I am not driving in it..

weather forecast is always on the button.

Really, only ignorant people condemn Islam? Wow, that's a new one on me.

I wonder what all those Coptic Christians in Egypt and Syria would say if they still had their heads attached to their bodies. Or how about the 20 young boys and girls who were locked in an iron cage and burned to death. Or what of the nearly three thousand people who died horribly at the hands of peaceful Muslims on 9/11. And, of course, there's Hamas in the Gaza Strip and West Bank teaching the Palestinian children to h**e Jews and training them to k**l.

Fortunately I'm just a dumb country hick so I can condemn the living shyte out of Islam. I suppose I should write a letter to the Ayatollah Khamenei and beg him to stop h*****g homosexuals, he's pissing off the L***Qs. Maybe I should also tell him to tone down the "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" rhetoric cuz it makes people really nervous. I might also ask him what he intends to do with nuclear weapons once his bunker boys have them built.

I should write to King Abdullah of Jordan also. After ISIS captured a JAF pilot and burned him to death in an iron cage, King Abdullah put out an appeal to Muslim leaders everywhere stating they should seek major reform of Islam, get it up to speed with the 21st century rather than acting like a bunch of barbarians from the Dark Ages. It would have to be a message of condolence though since nobody in the Islamic world was listening. Or, I could send the king a message of encouragement: "Hang in there, excellency, Islam's time for reform is coming."

There are radical elements of Islam and it cannot be denied. However most all of the Muslims living in the United States are peace loving and freedom loving just like the rest of us. I once found myself in a White European Community in Chicago where a tow truck driver forgave my towing bill and fixed my car. What was unique about this nieghborhood was that they were Albanians and also Muslims. White Europeans mind you and they flew the American f**g and were patriots who were very kind to me because I was a serviceman. This is a true story and I challenge anybody to go to the Albanian section of Chicago and find out first hand.
