You are only half right John L

"Muslims are entitled to enjoy the same rights christian and jew are enjoying in the U.S. and in the world. Nobody Nobody Nobody can deny the rights of 9 milion muslims living in the U.S. as long as they respect the laws and they pay their taxes."

Thats the half....but with a huge condition. That each and every Islamist and Islamic radical are asked to leave, and that those who remain do so as every other member of this country does.

Political correctness died (or should have) on 911. Muslims need to understand why it is that the world perceives them as they do. The moderates have only themselves to blame for not standing up to those who through their words and action are a constant threat to our lives and our way of life.

People have to understand that the clear and present danger of terrorism in this world drives us to change the world to be a safer place. The reality is that the focus is muslims. While we understand that most muslims are not terrorists, we do know that most terrorists are muslims....not catholic....not jews...not etc etc.....

So, John L. there is a reason that muslims are a focus, and not a positive focus, in our lives. Trust me, I am not neglecting them, until there is peace for a long long time I will never neglect them.
