Barbara,

I believe that no society is immune from deviants and extremists. This situation exists in every country, in every society and in every faith. These individuals do not represent their societies. They do not represent the prevailing thinking of a society. I invite you to the true teachings of islam.

I invite you to read about Islam with an open mind (do not believe in what you see on Fox and CNN), understand the message. Read Koran first and then criticize. Terrorism contradicts Islam's message of peace, love and mercy. Terrorism is cruel, merciless and it demands bloodshed and murdering innocent people. In Islam, terror is a great sin. American Muslims are part of the social fabric of America.

You said "Surely it's time to send Muslim immigrants back to their homelands" who is next on your list.....Blacks, Asians??

Because of people like you Muslim Americans face new forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance and experience discrimination and marginalization.
