Wow. How very discriminatory. Asking a if a particular religious group can be decent Americans? Muslims are adherents of the faith Islam. There have been Muslims living in this country for decades. Now, because of the bombing, we are suddenly questioning all Muslim behavior?
That is terrible.
Yes, the vast majority of Muslims in this country are "good Americans". Lumping everyone into the same category is wrong, and shows a lack of critical thinking skills. Further, it only adds negativity to a bad situation.
Now, before anyone posts a rebuttal about Muslim crimes against Americans, I might add that most major crimes in the United States are perpetuated by white American males. Statistics show, however, that minorities are jailed the most and for the longest length of time, usually due to racial prejudices. Generally speaking, non-militant Muslims are peaceful people.
Wait a minute.. you have the nerve to use the word "discriminatory" and then a couple of sentences down from that you state: "I might add that most major crimes in the United States are perpetuated by white American males." Really??? Show us where you found this plum of wisdom. "Racial prejudices?" C'mon, now. Just because a criminal is BLACK doesn't put that criminal above the law. Stop living under the pretense that everything is due to "racism." Black people have just as much opportunity to make themselves successful as the next person, ESPECIALLY in the U.S. It's up to YOU. Only YOU are RESPONSIBLE for your OWN HAPPINESS and SUCCESS.
As far as moslems making good Americans, I don't think so. Of course, this is MY OPINION, which I'm entitled to. I feel this way simply because they are raised under the false religion of islam. Islam considers anyone OUTSIDE of that alleged religion an INFIDEL. If you don't "accept" the islamic faith, you are an INFIDEL. Take a look at what's going on in all these countries that are mostly of the islamic faith. They are killing Christians, they are killing Jews. Why? Because they won't accept ISLAM, and they want to practice their own faith. Islam wants to dominate the world. Islam wants the law of sharia across the world, over any other laws in any other countries. Islam looks down upon women and enslaves them. Islam, in the world of the islamic, is not just some woman who thinks it's cute to wear a hijab or niqab or burqa. If you go against their laws and you are a woman, you will DIE - simple as that.
The other thing is that there have been "American" moslems that have killed Americans on American soil - ALL FOR ISLAM. No matter what "faith" you claim to profess - do you go out and KILL others because they don't believe what YOU believe? Hell no, you don't. ISLAM DOES!
The vast majority of crimes and serial killings are perpetuated by white American male. These statistics may be found at any honest crime website and in sociology and psychology text books. The justice system is skewed to favor white male and is skewed to unduly punish minorities. Go to college. Take a sociology course. You will find this out.
By your logic, I could question if Christians would make good Americans, due to the number of deaths, abuses, and crimes caused by Christians in the United States, such as the beatings and deaths of homosexuals, the abuse of women, the abuse of children, and "reform" schools which systematically abuse children. I do not blame every Christian, like you blame every Muslim,however.
Sharia law -- that is something only militant Muslims want, which our media has twisted for the War on Terror Propaganda.
I will be blocking you. I will not talk to or have anything to do with anyone who wishes for the discrimination of whole groups of people.
The Nazis did just that, and look what wonderful things they accomplished. (Sarcasm).
