Yet then there are the total opposite extremists that think you are dirt if you are not a Muslim as well.
Sad that the extremists get all the news and the press, however I really do think the normal Muslim people need to stand up against these extremists. Let them and rest rest of the world know that they will not except this extremist garbage.

I also have a lot of people from the Middle East or of the Muslim faith in my neighborhood. I made friends with one family down the street when I was out walking my dog and saw an older man trying to carry a rather large TV into his house and quickly offered my help. Aftrewards he told me I was welcome in house anytime. The man behind me lost his leg in the Kuwait war. I see him outside often in his wheel chair watching over the neighborhood kids.
There are bad apples in every group. A perfect example is the 18 year old kid who walked into a gay bar and started slashing people and then shooting them.
We have millions of people of the Muslim faith or of Middle Eastern descent, yet not once since 9/11 has any of them risen up and attacked us. This alone shows what kind of people they are. They believe more in their adapted country than the faith of their homeland.
