Most of the international (not domestic) terrorist plots and acts against the U.S. that have received media and public attention in the past 20 or so years have been Muslim (self-proclaimed and otherwise) terrorists. I assume that's what Ghostwriter really meant but I could be wrong.

Most Muslims (self-proclaimed and otherwise) are not terrorists and were not involved in orchestrating the terrorist acts against the U.S.

I think Ghostwriter knows this and didn't think she needed to spell it out.

On that note, all apples are fruits but not all fruits are apples. Party over here.

What has been interesting to me is Ghostwriter's blanket use of the terms "Muslim" and "Islam" until the post about the business partner when this came out:

I appreciated this distinction, because one of the major issues with the Islamic Center is that for many people Islam = Terrorist when it is really Radicals = Terrorists, in this case.
