Dear Faqi

Well CAIR is not an extremist orgainistion. Many muslim people that were held in the USA were proven to be innocent. There are also extremist organistiaons in the USA that are not Islamic such as the KKK, and groups associated with that. Remember the Okahoma bombings in the 1990s. I guess you Americans believed it was muslims that did it but it was Mathew McVey. There is a time not long ago when the IRA brought terror to the UK and much of the money raised to the IRA was Irish Americans and there were IRA terrorist members that lived in the USA.

Not all muslims are terrorists, and not all terrorists are muslim.

Anyway you mentioned that only people who need to be checked are Arab/Pakistani Muslims, and it is quite clear how to identify them. Well muslims can be different nationalities and there are even muslims that are white. You cant identify all muslims, just like you cant identify all Christians. A vast majoirty of Muslims are not the problem and its only the very small minority of muslims that are trouble makers, and of course there are even a tiny minoirty of people that profess to be Christian that are trouble makers.

You mentioned about how in Islamic states what is the relation between muslims and non muslims. It depends on the nation. In Malaysia Christians, Hindus, Buddihsts and Muslims live at peace with each other, just like the places such as United Arab Emerates. Not all muslim nations are the same, all are different.
