No, every muslim in America is definitely not a terrorist, although many people think negative of them and their religion because of what has gone on recently. There are some bad people of every culture, religion, race, etc. You can not decide whether someone is good or bad judging by gender, religion, race, or other groups that they are involved in and you definitely can not use these characteristics to decide whether or not they are a terrorist or something else to that extent. Muslims come to America for the same reasons as many other people which are to gain more freedom, try to live the american dreams, or protect their own lives. I don't know if you heard about it but many muslims were killed by their own leader in their own country because of the group of muslims in which they were associated. They were being killed by their own leader! That is definitely one reason to try and escape their country. The Muslims' presence in America does not really need to be explained, just as the presence of Canadians or people of other groups, unless specifically part of a terrorist group or other groups whos target is to harm others, does not need to be explained.

I think most Muslims that immigrate to America have come seeking what those of other faiths have come for-jobs, a better life for themselves and their families, "the American dream". The terrorist aspect is a very small group, as the true Muslim religion, from what I have read, shuns violence.
Many people who have lived here for generations are Muslims, and quite a few have converted.
I feel bad if anyone leaves based on the bad treatment they receive due to the Al-Quaida influence that has darkened many American's views of the Muslim religion. I

I would suspect that most come to The United States to get the free set up the government gives them because of their minority status. I will assure you in the years before ( the we love every one trend came ), they would have not have come. Well did they?
I am in the service business. People from the Middle East are the most demanding, intimidating and want something for nothing group of people. The bad news for them is that I understand their ploy. I can use every tactic they can throw and put it back in their face. I win every time. The reason being, I have learned to think as they think. If it were allowed I would charge a misery fee for putting up with them.
Liberals, I can be forced to deal with them because the law says that I have to. However, there is no law in the universe that can force me to respect them or love them.

Muslims in America are here for a reason. Muslims in certain other countries.......maybe not so much. As long as they come here, and assimilate into my world, I am more than happy to welcome them. If they start throwing **** at my car and want to become the next rag head terrorist scum target, they will be dropped first, and then I will ask just why the hell they are in my country.
The rise in your alleged "hate crimes" are merely a sign of the times. America will be fine with or without them. That is what this country does.......

a small group of muslims, al qaeda, are terrorists. just like how not all russians were nazi's! most muslims are strongly AGAINST al qaeda because they have ruined their lives in iraq.
think about this: al qaeda has done some pretty bad stuff right... but whats that compared to america? america bombed the whojle of iraq and killed thousands of innocent people who had nothing to do with terrorism, in the act of trying to find a small group of people. what america has done, is what we define as terrorism- "creating terror". america has created terror in middle eastern countries for people that dont deserve it. dont be so close minded :]

Not every Muslims is a terroist,
Just as not every white person is racist to black people
Just as not every black person owns a gun or does drive bys.
It's all generalization, They are probally coming to America in search for a better life, for work or for family.
I have heard stories of Muslims vowing never to go back to the USA for the way they are treated, but not one person speaks for everyone.

I keep hearing about all this hate against muslims, I live in Salem Oregon and there are alot of arabs here and I'v only heard of one hate crime in the area against the arab community! I know Salem is a mish/mosh of races and colors so we know we're all the same basicly.

Not every muslim is a terrorist. They come to seek a better life, because they come with the idea that this is a better place than the one they were in before.
Sadly, they can be treated unfairly, and come across stupid ignorant people.....mmm....

Sure some come here to work. The ones with no stomach for fighting. They just fund the other muslims who do want to kill us and the ones who are so stupid they actully think they accomplish something by blowing themselves up. They also come here to use our educational system to learn engineering and things so they can go back and teach the other ones how to kill us more effectively. The only thing more stupid is the fact that we still allow them to come here and exploit us.
