That's called profiling, I guess, and I can live with it. When the "moderate" Muslims (do they exist?) speak out LOUDLY against the extremists, I might reconsider how I feel. Until then...

EXACTLY!! Unlike many of my fellow countrymen, I have not forgotten what took place on 9/11/2001.

They do, they just don't get any air-time...

That would be nice...but the problem is that there dont seem to be very many "moderates". They seem to gravitate toward either the extremist non-humans, or the "turn-the-other-cheek" types. Violence is a no-no for the latter.

Nor have I. But in the subsequent years, I have tried to understand the Nation of Islam and whether the monsters who are killing our countrymen are really Muslims at heart. I don't think they are.

Well, you're a bigger man than me (I'm not being smart-assed, here)...I personally haven't taken the time to study Islam like you have. I do study Christianity as I consider myself a Christian (albeit a very poor one, I admit). However, I'm willing to take 'em at their word: if they're calling themselves Muslims, then they are Muslims. Again, if they are NOT Muslims, then the true Muslims should say so, LOUDLY. I haven't heard that.

Their Koran teaches them to kill infidels and they are taught the only sure fire way to enter their heaven is to die a martyr. I would not call this a peaceful religion.
