Muslims in America

There is a great debate between you and those like you about Islam in the USA. Is Islam a peaceful religion? Is it a violent religion? And a lot of people wonder, what the heck is Islam? Well a group in Chicago is coming out with a report on how Muslims in America can fit in better with society.

What I don't understand about the report's suggestions is that all of them seemed to be geared toward non-Muslims. I am all for non-Muslims (or "infidels" for those that believe in the radical Islam) learning about Islamic culture. I think that can be very productive. But for the love of Pete it cannot be the non-Muslims doing all the work. If Muslims want to be better included in society they must begin speaking out against Islamic radicals committing acts of terror across the world. That's the truth Ruth.
