Boycotting muslims

of course all muslims are involved in jihad. it means holy struggle, and it is actually considered better jihad to care for your elderly parents than to go to war.

I am muslim. all of the muslims i've talked to all agree that 9/11 was terrible. they all agree that terrorism is not islamic, and whoever thinks that they are being good muslims by terrorizing people is stupid. personally, 9/11 ruined my life. imagine being nine years old and having people curse at you whenever you're walking or driving around with your mom. one of my best friends' brother is autistic and deaf, and some lady claims that he threw rocks at her car. those of us who know him know that he can't aim, he can't talk, and he has to sleep in a machine because of a heart problem. it is obviously a lie that he was throwing rocks at her car, and a nine year old obviously isn't a terrorist. do you think any of us wanted our lives ruined? because that's all that 9/11 did for us.
