Maybe things will really change for Muslims when they, as a unified and confident organized and yes, peaceful religion stamp out the fudementalist movement that is dividing them from everyone else on this planet. I cast a suspicious eye to anyone who would want to cut my head off simply because I dont believe the same things they do. It is really that simple, and I think that the vast majority of people out there will agree. This isnt about bashing Mohammed or any thing else remotely like that. When someone is out of line, it gets taken care of. So take care of it, before it spirals into something nobody wants. You can do it. You have a responsibility to do so, for the sake of us all.

I would like to see what would happen to a Christian in a Muslim country if he complain about his religion to his bosses. I'm sure he would of been beheaded and sent back home in a body bag. They come here with the expectation to be treated fairly and if as a American citizens would want the same courtesy in there country you wouldn't get it. Get lost go back home. I have no sympathy for you. you come here with the intention of using our laws to get back at us. If I were President every Muslim would be deported back to there homeland. They can't be trusted. LETS TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!!!!!

Not all Muslims are Terrorists but....

99.9% of Terrorists are Muslim

Fact. Deal with it. We react this way because yours is the face of the enemy.The Islam religion has been hijacked. Start marching in the streets and being very visible and telling us you aren't evil instead of hiding and saying ours is a religion of peace. Show us!!!

While the courts will figure it out, if true it reminds me of the bullly at work that no one wants to deal with, and if true like most bullies, they are small minded and stupid people.

And Yet I am reminded of a poem.

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up

News media uses words like terrorist and Guantanamo. Are they being racist?

The dumb S.O.B. was probably pushing his Muslimism onto co-workers and couldn't take the responses.

"This is very concerning to the American-Muslim community," Ali said."
----------

A community and group that wasn't very vocal about the murders committed by their own in the name of Islam on 9/11.

I will say that I believe in the Constitution/Bill of Rights.
I'll defend your right to disagree with me, even to do things I don't agree with or condone.
There are many people & beliefs I don't agree with.
I manage to co-exist with them.
I will not defend the rights of a group that wishes to kill me.

Mr Amar & CAIR take a hike.

You people are so ignorant. Yes it's true that Islam has had a black eye since 9/11. Yes it's true there are radical muslims killing innocent people. Just sending people back or blowing things up is not the solution. What about converted muslims in America or American born muslims? Should we send them back too? Islam is the fastest growing religion in America & the world. Did you ever take a moment & open a book & read about the religion instead of allowing the media & other ignorant people to brainwash you? the solution is education. Both in the Islamic world & in the United States. Both cultures need to learn about one another. The radical muslims aren't terrorizing America because they are jealous of our freedom. they just want America to stop interfering in their lives. Can you imagine what this country would be able to provide its people with if it did not spend so much on arms? Maybe we need to look to our neighbors to the north & see how they provide for their people because they don't spend so much on arms. You don't need to spend so much on defense if you don't go around meddling all over the world. Take care of your own first!

I happen to know the Sun-Sentinel's affiliate FORUM also fires Muslims or those affiliated with them simply because they are Muslim or know Muslims. They did the same thing to a person who complained about being harassed by fellow employees of a certain ilk, and that person was one of their best employees, too!
Racism and bigotry are everywhere, and as long as it is a Muslim it's ok to practice discrimination.

And you are going to take responsibility for the Evangelicals who are killing people overseas, inflicting their brand of sick Christianity on other Christians, and while you are at that why not take responsibility for all the Christians who are extremists and stamp them out as well... and for the Jews?
Get real. You cannot hold members of a religion accountable for the acts of a few whackos that use the religion as a shield.
