    How many people here are happy to outsource article writing/web development etc to Muslims, but are posting propaganda in this thread?

    I've been to Saudi. Just to prove that my claims are not 100% incorrect...

    "Officially, the government can search the home of anyone and arrest or deport foreign workers for owning religious icons and symbols, e.g. a Bible, or rosary"

    "In and before February 2004, the official website of the Saudi Supreme Commission for Tourism stated that visas would be denied to "Jewish people""

    It's human nature to profile and much of that profiling is informed by visual cues. I believe it's an instinctual form of assessing the probability that harm can come to ones self. I think Mia's suspicions of muslim looking people on airplanes is completely normal if not reasonable. If orthodox Jews with the funny hat and hair had attacked us he would probably be suspicious of people who look like that.

    "Muslims do not condemn terrorists acts" old, and not true:

    Muslims Condemn Terrorist Attacks

    you should know, that demonstrations in Muslims countries are not something so often as in Western countries, due to several reasons, which are not the topic here, so if you look at Muslim communities with the eyes of West and expect them to go in million demonstrations condemning terrorists acts, then you will be wrong, and it will be wrong to build conclusion on this,

    if for example a Latin American drug dealer been caught in USA, should all Latin America condemn him? they already did by not dealing with drugs, so did the 1.5 billion Muslims, they do not have to make a demonstration so you feel happy ;)

    It doesn't seem all that hard to find one burning a flag though.

    Im taking blogmasters side on this hes right. How can i say hes right? Just did. Anyways. Why bash Americans when america is made up of people from all over the world?(meaning your own people as well!) A true American would be an Indian which most of them are very nice! saying Muslims are treated bad in america is stupid. Every race in america gets treated bad! There are a lot of good people and a lot of bad people just like any other country in the world! I don't get why people bash america you should bash bad people!

    Well, to be fair, our media does focus on stuff that will sell papers and get tv and radio ratings so a flag burning is more exciting than somone condemning attacks. But I don't think terrorist groups could operate nearly as well if they didn't get support from the community.

    Maybe you can try http://english.aljazeera.net, they look at things at another perspective. It is good to know more sides to a story.

    which community? The Jordanian which had a terrorist attack and stopped some other attempts? or the Moroccan which had several terrorist attacks? or the Egyptian which been with long war against terrorists attacks during the 90's, or the Indonesian, or the Algerian, or the Saudi, or The Tunisian, or the Lebanese, or the Palestinian? ....... maybe USA should learn from these communities how to deal with terrorists attacks as most succeeded in stopping them, specially Egypt.

    Has terrorism stopped within the last two years?

    Radical Muslim From Brooklyn Key To Terror Plot to blow up JFK Ineternational Airport in New York. Federal authorities announced they had arrested JFK workers and broken up a suspected Muslim terrorist cell.

    http://www.wnbc.com/news/13433470/detail.html

    A 911 dispatcher, Nadire Zelenaj, has been arrested for using computers at work to access secure government websites containing information about suspected terrorists.

    Muslim Woman Arrested for Terrorist Threat Against University of Illinois

    http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/2118

    Another New York man, Syed Hashmi, a member of Al Muhajiroun, or the Emigrants, a London-based group, with at least one other man who has previously been arrested in New York conspired to provide "material support or resources" to members of Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden's terrorist group

    http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2006/06/new_york_man_sy_1.html

    Five Egyptian men with maps of the New York City subway system and video of New York landmarks have been arrested by the Joint Terrorism -- four illegal immigrants and one law enforcement fugitive

    In addition to the subway maps and video, the men had train schedules and $8,000 in $20 and $50 bills.

    http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=978963

    The alleged conspiracy to blow up John F Kennedy airport, in New York, and a recent plot to kill soldiers at a nearby United States Army base represent only the "tip of the iceberg" of terrorist plots against America, according to US officials.

    Anyone made such claim?
    Pizzaman claimed that Muslims all over the world fighting terrorism and you simply don't want to acknowledge that which is more than clear.

    According to a PEW research poll one in four younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings to defend their religion are acceptable at least in some circumstances

    In Pew surveys last year, support in some Muslim countries exceeded 50 percent, while it was considered justifiable by about one in four Muslims in Britain and Spain, and one in three in France.
