Why do you think all Americans consider all Muslims terrorists? There are 300 million of us as well, but it is only the uneducated ones who believe such nonsense. I too agree there is no reason to hate a nation or religion based on the actions of a few "crazy" people.

I don't believe all Muslims are terrorists.. BUT... I do believe that a follower of Islam who may not have access to "both sides of the story" could be a potential problem.
Here is why... The largest newspaper in Iran, the Tehran Times is actively promoting a World Intifada, a revolt, an uprising. Here is a link to a thread that I started not to long ago. I wouldn't normally do this but it seems that the TehranTimes has decided to block access to one of the links in the thread so I had to copy and paste the text of the article in that thread and I don't want to do it here, it would make this post extremely long.

When I see the Muslim World fight back against these insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, turn Bin Laden over for prosecution, when Iran's most powerful man and spiritual leader, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei retracts what he has said about the United States AND when the TehranTimes call off their "intifada" against the world than perhaps I will trust what you say. Until then Adel, actions speak louder than words.
I have yet to have one Muslim explain to me why Islam should rule the world. Why Islam, Christianity and Judaism can not co-exist peaceably.

Because the more moderate Muslims aren't heard from. When imams feel so comfortable denouncing the West then of course we feel they have more support than just the activists we hear from. It may be a passive support, but we don't hear the street rising up and saying that teaching hatred in your schools is wrong. When your co religionists start passing on information as to where terrorists are hiding, then we will start thinking differently.

I believe that human society is headed toward a culminating battle of good vs. evil. It's important to consider this as a viable take on reality, and to consider which "side" one might want to be
on. To take it a step further, I also believe that Islam is a religion
created by Satan unto himself (aka "Allah"). Whether it's politically correct or not, this may be truth. If it is, then it is imperative that our leaders be in tune with the Creator of our Universe; our existence as we know it may be more threatened than we realize.... At the risk of sounding like a Bible-thumper, please consider the claims of Christ; He is either telling the truth or the biggest liar that ever lived. You decide....

It isn't that most Americans consider all Muslims to be terrorists.
It's just that you guys aren't as supportive of US as you should be.
You denounce bin Laden? And the al Qaeda? That's wonderful!
But Muslims need to be more outspoken about it. Muslims as a WHOLE need to denounce the terrorists. Otherwise, what are we supposed to think?
If you're not WITH us in fighting the terrorists, you're AGAINST us!
There is no middle ground with terrorists, and it seems that many Muslims are trying to create one.
But I know that not all Muslims are terrorists. I just wonder sometimes when you guys aren't vocal in denouncing them, like you just were.
Edit: The only reason the US ever supported bin Laden is because he was considered the lesser of two evils. Ever heard the saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"? That's how it was back then.
I stand by my statement: If more Muslims would speak out as you have, we would have no reason to be suspicious of any of you.

Not all Americans are "weak in history".Many of us are aware of how
U.S. Intelligence has stupidly tried to bring peace and stability to the middle east in a flawed attempt at being proactive and preventing future conflicts with extremists.Ironically, the method used in fighting these crumbums has been to empower one group,seemingly less
extreme, to fight the other.Only to have each dictator/nation turn on us over and over again.A reliable definition of
stupidity would be failure to learn from an error repeated more than twiceI guess our government doesn't recognize such semantics!
As for Muslims,It would be pathetic for anyone to assume that all, or even most are terrorists on an individual basis.And speaking as a Satanist, I see it this way.Judaism,Islam, and the greatest spiritual whore of all,Xtianity,all possess an equal share of the blame for creating the kind of world of war and innocent bloodshed we have today.Why single out the muslims for any special condemnation over and against other monotheists?
Bottomline:If you believe in the god of either of these religions,you're a fool and you are at fault-no more,and most certainly no less.

If the 299 million of you Muslims who are supposed to be peace loving would stand up to the terrorists, or at least speak out against them maybe the west would look more favorably at you and not generalize.

Actually we don't but there does seem to be a trend toward militancy on the part of mid-East Muslims against the U.S..
I met a Lebanese money launderer who was a very nice person but the people he worked for and maybe he would have had no problem with killing any American.

People need to wake up!
America may have supported these people at one stage not knowing that their behaviour would drastically change.
You sound like you are apologizing for terrorist behaviour .
There are Muslim people who are law abiding citizens who just want to live their lives peacefully like most people do.!
It is the terrorists who are creating the problems.
Live one day at a time and don't look at tomorrow it will take care of itself when it comes.
Take care!
