"Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance and we welcome people of all faiths in America."

"All Americans must recognize that the face of terror is not the true face of Islam. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It's a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It's a faith based upon love, not hate."
this is just further proof that the extremist views on islam expressed by some on CEG do not represent the views of the majority of americans, christians, or any other non-extremist group here in the US.
it's truly disturbing how some people (corbett in particular) choose to interpret a couple passages in the koran to mean that islam is a terroristic religion and therefore all muslims are prone to be terrorists as well. not even our president whom you follow so faithfully supports your views.
there's been some good info and positive contributions in this thread. too bad some people choose to ignore it.
moderators can lock this thread at their own convenience. i'm bowing out of this one.
