Norfolk, VA: Right after 9/11 why didn't the American Muslim community denounce the terrorists? We never heard a word from them as a group. I want to hear them say that the Koran is not right is denouncing all Christians and Jews as infidels.

Minneapolis, MN: In your article title you stated that Muslim Americans are affluent - Yes some are, but many are NOT. Why the misleading title?

    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.

    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.
