Ghosth,
I appreciate your reply. The Vick situation, I concede.
Fundamental Islamic groups are a minority. Doing the things that we are doing only bolsters their ranks. As far as 9/11, we were asleep at the wheel. No less than three opportunities existed for us to avert that disaster. There is a book called "The Man who Warned America" by Murray Weiss. Check it out. I see it like this, you dont get mad at the dog for crapping in your yard, it is what dogs do. You don't let dog get into your yard.
As far as what we hear on CNN, I take it with a grain of salt. There is no way we know what the average muslim is thinking anymore than they know what we are thinking. I bet its alot of the same things however. Food, shelter and education for our kids. The answer to this problem is dialouge. How many muslims do you know personally that you have discussed this with? Do you care enough about it to do that? you will only find out what 9 out of 10 muslims think if you talk to 9 out of 10 muslims.
Why is it that whenever someone takes a different look at this debate, that are labeled treasonous or anti american? We were founded on the values of dissent and disscussion. I love this country despite the fact that it has never treated my people with the dignity and respect that they deserve, But that is a different topic.
