The country of which i am speaking about is the United states and too bad that you don't know your own country history. Yes, america is concerned to be the land of the free and have grown since the early years of slavery and world war 2 era. But its not yet if ever will be totally free....yes, "its freedom of speech" innocent until proven guilty but take arial look at it. freedom of speech can cost you friends,job and enemies too. look at actor mel gibson. he made a comment about the war and jews. Now all hollywood,press headlines ready to take his head off. You have jewish leaders ready to sue from words he said. No it was'nt right but look at what others have said about blacks,women,muslims,christains. are their careers in jeopardy?. And women just became equal during world war 2, before that women were say at home moms with no career jobs.

but like i said before america has come a long way. its been a struggle but she continuing to bring the best out of her. With all the muslim men and women that play important rolls in america. glad to see that the first muslim was elected into congress last week. It's first of many not the last . as Americans we already have musilms senators like Senator larry shaw of north carolina 21 district and Ferial Masry of 37th Assembly District of california as candidate. But even so if you knew anything about the koran. The same declaration of Independence that help create this country and laws are verse found in the koran. So what do that tell you?? also there are proof the before chris columbus arrived to america. Their was sign of early muslim reaching the land and trading with the natives.
