IT'S REALLY A SHAME HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS. I BEEN ON THIS FORUM FOR SOME TIME NOW AND I CAN UNDERSTAND ALOT OF PEOPLE AGUMENTS TOWARDS ISLAM AND SOME PUT UP GOOD REASON ALSO. NOW MANY MAY THINK BECAUSE I AM MUSLIM AND AFRO-AMERICAN IS MY REASON FOR MAKING SUCH A COMMENT. IT COULD BE BUT I LIKE TO HEAR DIFFERENT OPITIONS WHETHER ITS ABOUT MYSELF OR MY RELIGION. PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR OWN.

MY COMMENT IS ABOUT TRUE COLORS. NOW AS AN AMERICAN BORN AMD RAISED. I BELIEVE WHATEVER RELIGION HELPS YOU BECOME A BETTER PERSON IS A GOOD ONE . ISLAM HAS DONE THAT FOR ME. I JOIN THE US ARMY RIGHT AFETR 911 TO HELP PUT A STOP TO PEOPLE FROM HARMING THE USA AND HARMING THE VERY ESSENCE OF ISLAM. MANY MAY HAVE THEIR OWN OPINION BUT THATS LIFE.

AMERICA IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE . BUT CAN HARM ITSELF IT WE ARE NOT CAREFUL OF WHAT WE SAY TO SOME PEOPLE. THE REASON THE USA IS SO GRAET BECAUSE OF SO MANY FORGIENER HOW CAME TO THIS COUNTRY. THE WAY PEOPLE TREAT THE ARABS MUSLIMS IN COUNTRY NOW. FAR AS THINKING ITS WRONG FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP OUT WITH DIFFERENT POLICIES CONCERNING MUSLIM OR ARABS.

MAKES ME THINK OF HOW SOME AMERICAN THOUGHT ABOUT BLACKS WHEN THE GOVERNMENT STARTED TO HELPOUT . PEOPLE SAID THEY WILL NEVER LIVE NEAR BLACKS. NOW LOOK BLACKS EVERWHERE. JUST SAYING BE CAREFUL THE SAME THING MAY HAPPEN WITH MUSLIM ARABS.
