Muslim Hating has gotten out of hand

The first thing I feel the need to comment upon is the level of hatred against the Muslim population that has been created within this country.

Let me first say that I was very astonished that World War 3 did not begin on September 12 2001. September 11th was a day that shocked me to the core of my being, made me terrified and angry, and I am not one who thinks it was all a conspiracy theory hatched by the US Govt. I think it was the work of terrorists. And I think too that they were fanatical extreme Muslims.

However, Bill O'Reilly and Fox News would have the general US population believe that because of the work of 19 Fanatical and far out Muslims, the rest of the Muslim population is also bad. Even when they dont say this explicitly, they imply it is so by criticizing the Muslim population for their silence, for not speaking out against the fanatics etc.

Anyone that thinks that that is true please PLEASE PLEASE actually read ALL these links

However, the problem is, that most muslims dont believe that the people who carried out the 9/11 attacks were Muslims!! They feel that, if they condemn the Muslim attackers, they would be admitting that the attackers were Muslims! They dont think the attackers were true Muslims any more than the Christian churches believe that murderers and terrorists who claim to have carried out atrocities in the name of God believe that they are Christians - they believe they are NUTS, not real Christians!! The same goes for the REAL Muslims!!

Muslims DO have a different culture and deal with things in a very different way to the one we are used to - their condemnation is definitely a more private, internal thing, but possibly is stronger because of that within the world in which they live - a very different one to ours..
