| This letter hits a spot with me that I've been very bothered by since 9/11/01.... Why aren't the Muslims in America standing up to show their patriotism towards the United States? Why have they been so quiet? Why don't we see prominant Muslim figures standing up and doing somthing? And yet again, our ing media protects them, making sure that every hate crime committed against muslim people gets front page news while people don't even know what acts of terror has been happening in this country. |

funny how this dood many times comes up in such situations such as this one. Additionally, the topic of this thread is not Timothy McGvigh, or the unabomber (if anybody else wants to mention in the future) so boys and girls, how about we leave them out of this "conversation" and focus at the task at hand.
