Muslim Communities in the USA?

You like to paint me as an ignorant, uninformed American....that simply is not so....

No, you are mistaken on that count. I just treat your �hate� thesis as misplaced. The fact is the people act in reaction to US bullying and against the occupations of their lands.

Hate doesn�t come anywhere in all of this.

I just don't happen to kneel at your feet as many do, and I have different opinions from yours. 

My friend, no one kneels at anyone�s feet. I say things without mincing my words even about the great US of A � without any fear and in frank and honest manner and some people, on this board, agree with the truth they find in my words. We kneel before no one but the One and the Only.

I read constantly...ALL sides of the issues.  I am definitely not a racist of any sort....I was nearly married to a Muslim in LA back in the 70s....so please cut that bull out.  We didn't marry only because I felt he was too young for me at that time.

Did I ever mention racism in any of my posts?

You can only focus on the pain and suffering of the people of the Middle East.  And of course the Jews are suffering too.  We all are, albeit some at this time are not physically suffering, but rather emotionally.

I wish I were as limited in my bonding as you portray me.

I am as equally close to the Jews and the Christians as I am to the Muslims. (I will hold my reasons out of modesty)

But, if they are really suffering even half as much as they are making the rest of the world suffer then why don�t they stop history�s biggest land grab and make peace with their neighbours?

If they wanted peace then these European Jews should not have forced people (who had been settled on their lands, for the past thousand years) out?

My main problem with your posts is your constant insults to anyone who dares not agree with you. 

I love to be gentle, but to be very honest, I prefer being honest.

You will agree that it�s a bit of a task to keep cool when someone�s country is occupied and Americans are killing people, indiscriminately, left, right and centre and a nice lady preaches us to start loving her country?

I realize this is a Muslim site, so if we "infidels" are not welcome here with our (opposite) opinions, just say the word, and we'll be gone.  I don't recall ever insulting you, but you are not so "gentle" with your language.  Yet, if I were to use the very same insulting phrases towards you, there is no doubt I would be either warned or banned.  Not exactly fair, is it? 

I have always been straight and honest with you, but never insulting.

What phrases do you find offensive?

If you are referring to what I say about your country, allow me to say, your country has earned my �praise� with a few decades of hard work. I am unable to lower my tone about the great US of A as long as the US of A does not stop insulting the rest of the human race.

I was wondering the other day about something....not that it really makes any difference....but are you a member of Islam?  I don't remember ever seeing you write about Allah.  If you have, I guess I missed it.  I am only curious, it's really none of my business.

You guessed it right. I follow Deen e Ibraheemi. I hold all the Prophets in my heart, mind and soul. I love humans without any considerations of their colour, castes, creeds and core beliefs. My relationship with Allah is between Him and I. I have never used it for any advantage, even for making a simple point, leave aside for any political capital, though enough is always on offer.

Whisper, I have worked for 3 different federal government agencies.  I know people from as many countries as you.  They do not have the same opinion as you...actually many are quite the opposite.

It is terrible that ANY infant or innocent person dies as the result of war.  I am not a warmongerer, and as I have repeatedly stated I don't hate anyone.  You like to paint me as an ignorant, uninformed American....that simply is not so....but have at it.  I just don't happen to kneel at your feet as many do, and I have different opinions from yours.  I read constantly...ALL sides of the issues.  I am definitely not a racist of any sort....I was nearly married to a Muslim in LA back in the 70s....so please cut that bull out.  We didn't marry only because I felt he was too young for me at that time.

Nope...he's not sleep talking.  He's stating a fact.  Most people on this site really do not associate with, or really know, the average American. 

What is on this site amazes me at times.  I have yet to hear any Muslim stand up and say it is wrong to hijack international commercial airliners, with the full intent of blowing them up over large metropolitan cities, thus allowing massive amounts of body parts, jet fuel, fire, and plane pieces rain down on thousands of more totally innocent people....people from all cultures, races, religions, genders, and political views.  Terrorists are one thing....equal opportunity killers.  Hatefilled killers who do not want to converse, ever have peace in the middle east, or make any effort to strive for parity.  They are consumed with hate.  The US was not in Iraq when 911 occurred....what was their excuse then?

Sorry, I cannot understand the mindset of those who are so filled with hatred for so many people that they would stoop to deliberately and with malice and full desire, set out to slaughter several thousands of completely and totally innocent people. 

To say it's because the US is presently occupying Iraq/Afghanistan is ridiculous.  I wish we could leave yesterday!!  I hope we do leave immediately....but I have no say in the matter.  But, I can guarantee you that even if America withdraws her troops from every corner of the world, our terrorists will still be going full speed ahead in their efforts to murder, in as horribly a manner as possible, anyone who is not exactly as hatefilled and evil as they. 

How can all these foreigners comment on what life is like here in the states? For the most part, it's bull. You have no idea how most Americans feel. Generalized statements about Americans and what we believe serves no purpose.
