Additionally, are muslims synonymous to terrorists?

Well, fortunately, I haven't been blinded by anti-terrorist propaganda; I'm aware that the vast majority of muslims are law-abiding citizens without malevolent intentions. In this sense, I am inclined to treat them with due respect. However, they are religious, and so I would not hesitate to argue the matter of religion with them, just as I would with a christian or any other religious person (I'm an atheist).

My attitude towards Muslims is acceptance and a refusal to create an across-the-board category that infers that all Muslims are terrorists. I am not blinded by the propaganda because I remeber that there was an expression of solidarity by people in the streets of Middle Eastern countries after the attacks. Middle Eastern countries are mostly Muslim.

I believe that not all Muslims are terrorists, but I also believe that the vast majority of terrorists are Muslims. So the next issue is why are peaceful Muslims (for the most part) staying silent about how the terrorists among them are dragging their entire religion down the toilet. That is my big problem with Muslims as a people.

It is a love hate relation. I like Muslims for their honesty and straight talk most of them. However few dirty fish spoil the whole pond.I hate them since the world has become a concentration camp where rules to curtail your fundamental rights are increasing day after day. All because of a few twisted brains full of hatred and malice. It is no pleasure any more to live here or go places.You do not know who is doing what with whole world/ countries reeking of terrorist menace.

The same way I feel about Christians,Jews,Hindus,Sikhs,
and Bhuddists,American muslims are not to be judged or blamed,they are not to be labeled as terrorists.There are extremists in every religion,most muslims are law abiding,tax paying citizens in this country,deserve our respect and have the same pain and terror about 9/11 as anyone else.

Muslims are people like us and I use this rule: Treat everyone like you want to be treated until they treat you bad or upset you and then it's game on time to be rude. Give it back 10 times to what you get and maybe they will learn their lesson.

Well I live one block from a mosque and I really have no fear of Moslems in general. I am much more afraid of the hispanics and people from Louisiana that are committing crimes in my city. I haven't heard of any Moslem murdering anyone in my city as of yet. I dont' fear terrorism, I fear gangs and other lowlifes
