You have to calm down and don't take it personal...I perceive that you take it offensive and to the heart when someone speaks about a muslim. However, this are facts and undeniable ones if I may add. Can you guys for once in your lifetime acknowledge and realize that muslims are no angels. We all make mistakes, but, your problem is that you don't like it when muslims (regardless of their crimes) are held liable and accountable for their actions...instead (you might not realize it) attempt to excuse them by pointing the finger at people that lived a century ago, ignoring totally the progress that we in the West have made to accomplish/provide a better way of life for all...Including you; through education, policy and enforcement.

On the other hand you cannot deny that throughout history the level of liberty, human rights, the pursue of happiness and the modus vivendus that muslim nations provide for their constituents are the harshes and most brutal in the world (we'll maybe India too), and thus = main reason why a lot of muslims are here in the States. Undeniable Facts my friends. Let the writer exercise his right of free speech and press.
