if Bush never went to Iraq in the first place THERE WOULD BE NO WAR

I have no quarrel with you man, but please if you have nothing constructive to add to the thread concerning the topic as I created it, then please refrain from posting.

The last thing I want is for this to turn into a Bush bashing or Iraq Bashing thread or Muslim bashing thread.

If you've got nothing constructive to say, just leave it alone.

I agree you yourself are not responsible for the teachings of some radical, but Muslims as a whole should have some sort of voice right?

and what if (ill underline if for you) the majority is on the side of the radicals? perhaps thats why they dont speak? would a person who practices safe magic as a follower of some witch coven speak against the salem witch trials, hell no. they'd get burnt to death with the rest of them. more likly they would just keep there head down and hope the s*** doesnt hit the fan too bad. hopefully someone gets my drift... (shrug)

Thats the worst case scenario. I hope thats not the case.

I don't see it as BS propaganda. Those people in that mosque were not hiding. It wasn't a secret meeting in a back room somewhere. It was a prominent and well respected and by the looks of it well attended Mosque in Great Britain.

When will member of the Muslim community stop passing the buck, stand up to those extremists among you and say:

What you are practicing is a perversion of Islam and it will not be tolerated. Cease preaching this hatred and poision or get the heck out!

Instead what I hear a lot of is: Its not fair that we (muslims) are getting picked on. Everyone stop looking at us suspiciously.

I don't look at muslims suspiciously but it does worry me when a supposedly moderate majority stands silent and let a few extremists shape the worlds view of their religion.

If The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) spent as much time denouncing and rebuking radical Islamists as it did campaigning against the TV show 24 (its just a show folks) and getting its pants in a bunch when Imams act suspiciously on airlines, maybe Americans would not veiw muslims with such suspicion.

But frankly I see very little effort on the Muslim side to quell these fears.

AMEN. There's not anyone trying to defend their religion...honor. How would anyone expect us to act when there isn't one peep from the muslims?
Recently I took the wife to Las Vegas for New Years. While waiting to board the plane the news came that Hussain was executed. There were 4 middle eastern kids with backpacks in front of us talking about it. All we could make out was when they mentioned "Hussain". It may not have been bad talk about americans,but I would say the wife and I were on edge the whole flight.
I hate to say this,but I did stereotype at that time. You don't know what will happen because there isn't any kind of denouncing of the extremists so you WILL look at anyone of the same decent the same.
