You say we don't know true muslims and yet go on and on what about a true muslim is. Unless you pretend to know all the 'true muslims' then how can you say with certainty what a true muslim believes? It's like saying that Catholics aren't true Christians since they believe something different than the Westboro nuts. Previous failings point to a longer history and possible underlying issues that can contribute to their hatred of us. Saying it's religion and religion alone is what is moronic and offensive. Especially when speaking so generally as to encompass hundreds of millions of people. From the guy who doesn't know and muslims or want to. Go meet a few, maybe they'd change your mind.

But she does break the mold on what many here consider a muslim to be, which is just as relevant a counterpoint to all those who want to generalize entire countries based on the actions of a few.</blockquote>
