1) The facts are that the Islamic country of Morocco was the first state to recognize the independence of the United States of America.
2) And that American muslims overwhelmingly are happy to be U.S. citizens and many celebrate the 4th of July with their fellow country men.
Thus I find it difficult to believe that people want to turn these into a negative in order to bolster their personal agenda.
Sorry, Sunni man, the recent history includes a group of Muslims that attacked this country on 9/11/2001. They killed thousands of innocent people, and that is a hard thing for us to forget or forgive.
After all, you don't see us forgiving the English for their dastardly deeds of the late 1700's, do you? Oh wait, we're allies with them now. Never mind.
Well shit, we didn't forgive the Germans for world war two, fucking Nazi's. Or the Japanese. Oh wait, we're allies with both them also. Never mind.
It's not like the US has ever attacked a Muslim nation, so why did they attack us. Oh wait, maybe we did screw with some Muslim nations at some time. Never mind.
Anyways, you get my point, right?
I see, when did this forgiveness take place for these "enemies"? Further as I pointed out the US was attacked first since you wish to bring history into the discussion, as well.
The latest attack by an American Mulsim was the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. Point is one article by an American Muslim which is shines a positive light on the situation does not whitewash the entire picture.
Enough "Milquetoast" logic alan1... Forgiveness and forgetting takes time and is prompted by proactive positive actions.
Isn't that exactly what Sunniman is doing in the OP?
Proactively reaching out with the hand of friendship and brotherhood?
Why spurn any attempt to build the bridge to a united future?
