Hi Susan,
 
It is difficult not to stereotype a group when unrational actions occur,  but 
based on your first paragraph below, which resembles my point,  I still  
think that there are some of them that fear those that do irrational  acts.  To me 
it's a little like saying, Saddam was wicked so  all the people of his 
country are wicked, Bin Laden was wicked so all people of  his nationality are 
wicked, OJ was wicked so all the people of his ethnic group  are wicked.  David 
Koresch was wicked so all of the people of his faith  were wicked.
 
I think due to the constant fear of terrorism, here and abroad, that  Muslims 
and people from other known countries where terrorism has  occurred who come 
into the country should be scrutinized carefully to  see why they are here 
because of the possibility of ties to others who invoke  terrorism, but that 
doesn't mean to me that they are all guilty of the  plotting of terrorism, or that 
they all agree with it. IMO

>the koran doesn't teach love and good will to others - it teaches  death 
to non-muslims and anyone who won't convert to islam.  I don't  know 
whether it orignally  focused on Christians and Jews  but it  certainly 
does now.

>I don't believe that the muslims in our  countries who are keeping quiet 
do so out of fear of retailiation by the  extremists - I believe they do 
it out fear of letting non-muslims in Canada,  the U.S., Australia, etc., 
know they agree with the terrorists tactics and  are just biding their 
time until they can turn our countries in muslim  states.

Susan
