    i congrulate Lisa Miller, she really has understood musl??ms although she isn't. A Musl??m can't k??ll anyone. If he does, he can not be a Muslim. There isn't anything like that in Quran. It isn't jihad. i recommend you to read Quran before deciding about Muslim. also we are sorry about that they say 'islamic terrorism'. islam is reflecled as terrorisim activity but it isn't. There is tolerant in it.

    Why is it that while Amercan Media Ignores the voices of Moderate Muslims but project,Pursue and Magnify negative opinions of some Ignorant Muslims from around the world,Moderate Muslim voices dont seem to be Sexy enough for the news media to Publish or Convey

      I think the problem lies in the fact that the most puritanical Muslims are also the loudest in terms of expressing their viewpoint. Although many Islamic moderates have attempted to convey their views to the public, the extremists are able to do so in a much more sensationalist and shocking manner. The press is always drawn to the most lurid stories it can find, and the moderates just aren't all that exciting, meaning that they get pushed to the side in favor of the flash-bang words and actions of the extremists.

    Mr.Krohn,
    Senator Obama was a professor of american constitution at Harvard and a highly accomplishedand brilliant academician,he was not elected because Media or somebody feeling guilty or because of his Race..
    American democracy is Very much alive and Vibrant.Americans have voted for Republican candidates,Smart or Dumb and also voted the same way for Democratic Party.There is no Affirmative action in American democracy.At the same time Presidency is not entitled for only a certain group of ethnicity in the past or in the future.May the best candidate win in future elections irrespective of the color of their Eyes,Hair or Skin.

    Anything can happen in America???

    You can literally be ANYBODY and win an election, something that I bet a lot of lazy (and criminally inclined) children will be happy to learn. From now on, experience, knowledge, intelligence, character, associations, intentions, substance, and demeanor will be irrelevant, if you are fortunate enough to belong to an ethnic minority that the Media wishes to promote and that enough European Americans can feel guilty for.

    In this first (and probably not last) AFFIRMATIVE ACTION election, we have discovered that if you promise enough nonsense to those who are desperate for a handout, you can be victorious. We have discovered that when you allow the spread of ignorance, entitlement, and irresponsibility throughout an entire population, you can reach very high (note to self when selling any product!).

    Yesterday was the beginning of the end for the United States of America. We are only left to see what we can create from the ashes of this entire mess. WE will have to get ready for the tornado that is about to hit us, and be ready to take over from the mindless hordes that now dominate our land.

    Will many of these same ???AmeriCONS???, as I will now call them, ever learn?

    Yesterday, people elected a clone of Mr. 2000 and 2004. An unprepared empty suit of a man, whom we shall forever call the Affirmative Action Bush (AA Bush for short).

    What will be our next step?
