I am an American muslim and I have a cousin with an immunal supressant genetic disease; he was playing outside when a couple of people came and saw him outside and beat him up and almost killed him(all in the name of patriotism).WHY?
My cousins are in the NYPD and they are devout practicing muslims; on 911 they were right there on ground Zero risking their lives to save others.While they were risking their lives; one of their wives went out to pick up her kids and on her way back from school some men came in a big truck and started teasing her on the road almost causing an accident all in the name of patriotism.WHY??? And stories like this go on and on ,in the hundreds and possibly thousands I personally know of dozens of incidents from friends and family which continues to go on even today.Why???
Hundreds of muslims died that day because the terrorist killed indiscriminatly.We the American muslims fell victim of 9/11 in more ways then one.Someone tell me Why?

Ignorance pure and simple. I'm sorry to hear of your problems but believe me, no true patriotic American would do those things, just dumb, stupid, thugs who think they are patriotic. America is great because of her diversity and definitely Muslims are part of that diversity. Hang in there.

Scotsman is correct on all counts. We simply do not have anything in our american culture to help us understand anything about Muslims and we fear the unknown and what we DO know is 9/11 and suicide bombers and Bin Laden. Most americans are not open minded nor smart enough to decipher what is real and what is limited by their experience and the ONLY WAY this will change is over time by each MUSLIM being open and kind to the americans they interact with. kill 'em with kindness. you can be sure that any american racists who react aggressively against muslims are either uneducated or republican. no democrat with an IQ of 85 and up would do it.

Feel loose to impeach Clyburn's patriotism, however do not you dare query mine. It is best to understand that a few persons can pass judgement on part of the populace at the movements/phrases of 1 erroneous person. Can we anticipate that when you consider that Gulianni is professional-option that every one Republicans are professional-option? Or that when you consider that Foley is homosexual that every one Republicans are homosexual? Must be best to are living in a global and not using a sun shades of gray. Good information in Iraq is well information for every body (besides might be Clyburn), in particular the troops. I might have fun if I heard that no US soldier or blameless civilian died in Iraq at present. I might be comfortable to listen to that fifty,000 Iraqis did not flee the sectarian violence final month. I might smile if I heard that Bagdad had a steady infrastructure, like they did earlier than the battle. Victory is well information. We have to outline what victory way, even though, and at what fee...

Hate to say, but it'll probably only get worse as this world gets more paranoid. - The 'terrorists' have already won their cause!
If you are a religious person then you may find a little solice in knowing that the very book of god that many Americans (christians) profess to adhere to contains prophecy written thousands of years ago foretelling the very situation the world is falling into and what the ending outcome will be, the Quran is quite similar to the bible in most ways as they both originate with the same stories, and no doubt contains similar information?!

Sorry about your cousin. The morons you describe are not patriots, but nationalists.. Big difference. They belong in jail.. They are thugs and do not in any way embody what it means to be an American.

No its not patriotism. It's hate under guise of patriotism. It sickens me when people do that.
There are so many people with different beliefs. Some beliefs are beneficial and others are harmful.
Why?? Hate and intolerance. I hope you have a peaceful day today.

Your muslim clerics preach and teach hatred against Christians and Israel. Fanatic muslims blow themselves up in order to kill innocent people thinking they are doing your god's will but you are the instruments of hatred against Americans therefore you will not enjoy your time in America.
Reconsider your choices and make new and improved ones before it is to late.

What you are describing is NOT patriotism. You ask why these things happen? Because people are scared and STUPID. Certainly doesn't excuse it, but that's the best answer I see for it.

In no way was that patriotism. It was bigotry and hatred. I'm sorry that happened. There are bad people in every country.
