I lived for 10 yrs in an area of the north west of the uk, 90% of my neighbours were Muslim, I am Jewish, it was a wonderful time, never once did I feel threatened.I think it's fine for them to speak up and say they aren't going along with all of these attacks....but it has been too long coming.
I really feel that most of them think we had it coming so whenever they openly say they resent anyone who kills for Islam I am a bit skeptical.
The videos of them dancing in the streets on 9/11 are still a vivid memory. That would be like Americans singing and dancing in the streets if Mecca were destroyed.
This is an intro thread, not a 9/11 whine. But.... videos of some Muslims celebrating 9/11 does not justify treating all Muslims like terrorists. Nor does it excuse the pathetic ranting of at least two posters on this thread.
Vast numbers of Muslims didn't celebrate 9/11 - and spoke out against attacks - the problem is not them speaking out - it is the media not reporting it. I wonder why that is?
ps I spend a lot of time in the US, your news media is in general shite
I think it's possible that you were in an area where the Muslims hadn't been radicalized.
Go to Saudi Arabia and see if you can say the same thing.....or better yet the West Bank or Gaza Strip.
