A worried Somali, Danish, American Muslim

First, let me offer my profound condolences on the losses you have suffered today at the hands of terrorists. I am very concern about this article (London Terrorism:] British "Covenant of Security" with Islamists Ends, because it gives me the emotion that you appear to blame Muslim instead of Terrorism, "or is it now days that terrorism is Muslim and Muslim is terrorism." I am an American Muslim; I live in Minnesota, right now I am intern journalism in StarTribune. I love my country and it's people (American). I read some of your articles and I though that you were very extremist and anti Islam. I was born in Denmark, my parents are from Somalia and I move to American in October of 2001.My best friend is Christ, and I have a very close Jewish friend. It is time we stop this nonsense about west vs. Islam. For god sake, and found something else to do with your website rather to make every Muslim and an evil thing and the reason why they are here is to destroyed and take over the world. You cannot judge the religion based on the foul actions of a few extremists or Islamic fundamentalists. And when you say in the article The California suicide bomber
"Moving to the West often spurs Muslims to despise the West more than they did before they got there". Where do you get your info!!!!!!

Hatred ever kills, love never dies; such is the vast difference between the
two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by
hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred. Gandhi
