What Right Wingers Deny: Muslims are Really Good People and Really Good Americans
Muslim leader tells worshipers to expect questions from public - latimes.comIn a sermon at the Islamic Center of Southern California in Los Angeles, Hathout told worshipers before Friday prayers to expect questions from non-Muslims.
"We find ourselves in that very awkward and uncomfortable place" of answering questions and accusations about Islam and violence, he said.
"People will come to you to find answers, and they have that right," he said. "Life is not fair. You will be put in that position [of people asking] 'Whats wrong with you guys?' And so you will find yourselves as a spokesperson for us."
He urged those gathered not to apologize for their faith because they had done nothing wrong. The attackers, he said, were criminals, not people abiding by the tenets of Islam. Hathout urged worshipers to be present in the community, to be willing to answer questions about their faith, and to love and support their fellow citizens.
"Muslims, dont lose heart," he said. "We are really good people. We are really good Americans."

And, of course, you have FACTS to share with us, right?
Or are you too busy puckering your sphincter, in anticipation of sharing another psychotic conclusion with us?

99% of Muslims are good people who love the country they have made their home. So many people don't believe that, though.
For the most part I agree with that. Unfortunately history tells us a somewhat different story. It really depends upon the circumstances. When Muslims live with non-Muslims and are in the minority, they seem to be peaceful and willing to get along with everyone. Unfortunately, things seem to change when they become the majority. Then they want to control the politics and the rules that everyone must live by. If you want an example, take a close look at Lebanon. What should worry everyone is that most of Europe is on the same path as Lebanon. Within a couple of generations, Europe will likely become majority Muslim. I guess the world will find out how peaceful Muslims truly are once this happens.

True, but let me know when Christians strap bombs on themselves and set them off or go into crowded Indonesian, Kuwaiti, or Iranian marketplaces and set off bombs. I'm saying that Christians generally don't kill people for religious reasons but rather secular reasons. The few exceptions are abortion clinic bombers or anti-abortion christians who kill doctors, but that's a small number in relation to the muslim mass murderers.
there are Muslims burried at arlington

Your math is a bit off. The conservative estimate is that about 7% of muslims are radical. (That doesn't leave 99% moderates) There are 1 billion muslims in the world. That makes 70 million of them radical muslims.

Exactly.
And its sad and telling that American citizens must actually prepare themselves to sustain attacks from fellow citizens based solely on their religion.

These are criminal acts committed by persons who happen to be Muslim, where their religion is incidental. Such actions are sanctioned by no Islamic sect, nor condoned by any legitimate, recognized Islamic authority.
That they justify their criminal acts in the context of Islamic dogma is as much an attack on Islam.
And it remains a fundamental fallacy to blame an entire group of people for the actions of the criminal few; its also an affront to our basic tenets of due process and the rule of law.
It is, in essence, a manifestation of ignorance and hate.

By that logic it is a manifestation of ignorance and hate and a fundamental fallacy to say something like, oh, just to pick a random example from this thread... " What Right Wingers Deny: Muslims are Really Good People and Really Good Americans". Or to pick a second ignorant and hateful statement at random, "99% of Muslims are good people who love the country...". (noomi implies here the number of muslims who are not good people in America is not a handful but tens of thousands given that muslims make up nearly one percent of the population)
Wow. Dante and Noomi are quite the ignorant haters by CC Jonesy's standards.

SOME Muslims are Really Good People
The really good American thing is meaningless after one can't be a good American if he is not first a good person.
