And Muslim Americans Are To Be Considered Non-Threatening?

Reader comment on item: France vs. Niqabs and Burqas

Submitted by Ed Lull (United States), Oct 26, 2010 at 17:12

While a long proponent of my Chritian beliefs and that Christianity is a Religion of "Love" -- as Jesus taught love while on this earth, my tolerance and questioning of the motives of Muslim Americans is growing thin. Yes, thank goodness the pastor did not burn the Koran on the 9th Anniversary of September 11. For in so doing he would have been sending a message of "hate/" Now, in light of recent events, including the firing of Juan Williams from NPR for simply expressing a "fear" when seeing clothed Muslims on an airplane; today's local newpaper report on how a Teenage al-Quaida memer killed a U.S. Army sergeant in Afghanistan eight years ago and is now to be returned from Gitmo to serve 8 more years for his father's induced training because of his association with Osama bin Laden; and another similar article whereby the "Toronto 18" terroist group had intended to attack Canada's Parliament buildings, electrical grids, and nuclear stations in 2006 but the plot was discovered and the ringleader, Fahim Ahmad pleaded guilty to promoting the attack and was given a rather light sentence -- this all leads me to have low tolerance for those professing any Muslim background. The Jihad is clearly stated as a war against all Muslims. So, who can really continue to not be wary of Muslims of any ilk in our country and Canada. Now I also hear that the leader of Afghanistan has taken to date over $750,000 in money from the crazed leader of Iran, intent on building nuclear weapons to wipe the State of Israel off the face of the Earth. Thus, I fear that the Muslim religinon is indeed one of "hate" and I likewise am wary of any American Muslim who might profess otherwise, but who really knows what is going on behind his back. I wish not to fear that my Christian beliefs will be neuterized by a general Muslim uprising in our country with the full intent of overtaking our government and traditional way of American Life. Don't be casually misled by the sympathetic Muslim supporters. There may very well be many good Muslims in America, but there may also be the opposite.
