Yes I do. I know a few Muslims, and they're good honest people.
Thinking about the wide array of differences in Christianity can help you understand the difference. Picture the difference between Quakers, holding a forum where any Man, Woman, or Child has the right to stand up and ask or answer questions of the congregation, until the matter has been resolved. Then think about Pat Robertson, as big as life on T.V. calling for the assassination of the President of Venezuela. Think about the insane people who used their faith as an excuse to bomb abortion clinics. Obviously they don't represent all of us- they're just the most dramatic.
It's the same way with Muslims. Most are quietly going about their lives, trying to be the best people they can be. Don't let a few evil men turn your heart against all of them.

Religion has nothing to do with being American, Holy Cow. I know plenty of Muslims that are wonderful people, and great American's. Do you think Americana's can be good American's? Considering most of us don't want to belong to this "society" that is suppose to be America, I'm wondering.

Yes
There are lots of Muslims that are good Americans already.
Anyone can be a good American and religion has nothing to do with it.
It is your behavior and how you treat others.

If instead of thinking of themselves as Muslims, if they thought of them selves as Americans they would be great Americans. They don't have to give up their heritage they just have to put this country before their last one.
