Unfortunately, uneducated people, unlike ourselves, feel that everyone in a group are one in the same. Extremists exist in every culture, including our own. The Klu Klux Klan has an extreme and wrong interpretation of the Bible - just like the Taliban and Osama bin Ladin and all those seeking a jihad on Americans have of the Koran. It kills me to see that people in America are jumping to conclusions and thinkng that every Muslim in their neighborhood is out to get us. Some of these people have been here for generations and have contributed to American life through work as doctors, researchers, professors, military personnel, government officals, ect... I read a story about in Chicago some man drve his car into the front of a mosque - what ws the point of that? i don't know. I guess what I am trying to get at is, by doing this - we are allowing them to win - American are Americans - we are a melting pot of nationalities, just becuase someone doesn't look like you doesn't mean they are the enemy.
