What do you think they could do to help eliminate some of the violence of their radical extremists or are they powerless to do so?

Patriotic Muslims walk amongst you every single day and you can't even tell they're Muslims. Yes, they're completely powerless to do anything. They get up and go to work, have kids and come home every day just like you do.

Such a generalization. We use They and Them or the Muslims or the Democrats or Conservatives as a generalization too much. Refer to specific people. I know several americans who are muslim, also several americans who are of arab descent that are not necessarily muslim--catholic in fact.
None of "these people" as you would refer to them are a threat to our country, which is theirs as well. They love their nation, ours; all of the non-native born arabic citizens I know strongly oppose the violence in the mid east, and strongly oppose illegal immigration because they came here legally and worked hard to get their citizenship.
Maybe other people around the world would lke americans better if we didn't have such a superiority complex and like to label and place people into groups that seem to signify they are inferior like "American Muslims". I'm not muslim, or arabic, by the way, just fed up with people hating other people for no damn reason.

I think most American Muslims are patriotic, law-abiding citizens, just the same as most everyone else. Loving your country isn't something you have to "display" in any visible way; you either do or you don't. Waving the flag all the time is for insecure idiots who don't have a life.

The Muslims in America could be doing plenty by protesting by the thousands and marching with signs that say death to Bin Laden, Hamas and Hezbollah, they could be saying to the terrorist stop the killing, you see them protest in other countries over silly things like cartoons of Mohammad and something the Pope said. But here they do nothing, I think they are afraid or they agree with the terrorists.

They do. Many Muslims have formed groups that try to educate on the difference between Muslims and the fundamentalists the USA is fighting. There are a number of efforts to show that they aren't with them, and that they stand with the US.

I have Muslim friends who are as American as I am. Many were not born here but immigrated and have assimilated to our society without compromising their values and beliefes. I have great respect for them, I have heard first personal accounts of the hate they experineced after 9/11.

I think they wish to be Patriotic, but there are so many people who are idiots and are against them. They think just because muslims attacked us, that all of them are bad. People who think that are dumb, and need to get out more.

Given that there are thousand serving with honor in the US armed forces, many of them would be insulted by your question.
And how often do you go out of your way to stop felonies from occurring? Roughly 1% of the total US population is in prison, or ex-felons, or on parole. Do you try to stop them, or leave that up to somebody else becuase it's not your problem?

No, because their loyalty is to "allah". So if they are told that "allah" wants them to kill Americans, they will do so. The ones in the military are most likely there just to learn our secrets, which is why the US army has so many casualties.
