Islam in America
Lisa Miller: as us intelligence officials said in a briefing last week, al qaeda continues to have its sights set on targets in the us. and europe continues to be worried abou the radicalization of its muslim population.

Glen Cove, NY: What group is responsible for more American civilian deaths over the last 25 years? What group is responsible for the shooting of all three other religious leaders? Do you feel the Muslim community is the most hated in this country?
Andy: I dislike passing these questions along, but by the looks of it, 'Glen Cove, NY' is not alone in his/her thinking, and if he/she actually reads your response, maybe you could help clear things up with the 'Muslim monolith' myth...?
Lisa Miller: i have received a surprising number of hate messages in reference to muslims since the publication of this article. i don't believe hate ever helped anyone.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.
