Opinion: American Muslims live in fear 11 years after 9/11
By Sumbul Ali-Karamali, Special to CNN (CNN) - My father always told me never to talk about religion, politics, or other people’s children. He was part of a generation of American Muslims who wanted to stay quiet and assimilate into American life and not rock the boat. Growing up in Southern California, I tried to follow his advice. But after 9/11, I found that I, along with other American Muslims, have had little choice but to talk about religion. Although countless Muslims have condemned the acts of 9/11 in the United States and worldwide, American Muslims became objects of suspicion. Read the full Opinion piece on CNN In America |

I can assure you that they live in less fear than any Egyptian Christian or Libyian Westener.
Religion is the greatest stain on human civilization. Islam has, time and again, proven itself to be the most violent, oppressive and intolerant of all religions.
Thanks Mr. Obama for protecting our Ambassador.
Religion = Our number one nemesis.
Religion/gods were created by humans... l
I'm just not okay with muslims anymore. They are hateful, vengeful and bent on destroying the world because they only think of the paradise they will share with their silly, mythological prophet.

Some reasons for that:
As the koranic/mosque driven acts of terror and horror continue:
The Muslim Conquest of India – 11th to 18th century
■"The likely death toll is somewhere between 2 million and 80 million. The geometric mean of those two limits is 12.7 million. "

U.S. AMBASSADOR KILLED
Envoy to Libya dies in rocket blast
Unbelievable! You see the pictures in previous postings of the ambassador being handled by his attackers and now the official word is that he was killed with a rocket!!! Is this a cover up in the making to some how down play how they actually killed the ambassador??? I don't know but it looks like it might be.
More Muslims being reasonable.....did anyone see the drawing of Mohammed sucking horse c*ck while Jesus buttfvcks him?
"death to America!" the country that had a large hand in helping us overthrow our former dictator.....thanks....
This was an act of war by a barbaric, insane people. Libyan and Egyptian governments did NOTHING to stop the attacks and murders. They are complicit.
Pull all our people out and level these mofos with conventional explosives. NOW. It's the only thing they'll understand. The failure to respond will be seen as weakness on our part.
Obama is done. Muslims chanting "Death to America and Death to Obama" is his swan song. C-Ya Barry. Now go be a schoolteacher in Kenya.
Talk all you want but see what Islam does to US ambassador!!
Yeah! Religion makes people so reasonable!
I’m a Christian and I must say that the vast majority of Muslims are good people. They’re more than welcome in my or should I say, our country.
Why aren't any of these fearful Muslims speaking out against the actions of their Muslim brothers in Lybia and Egypt?
I know for a fact that number of them are indeed doing that.
Many are.
Sure they are. Not. Toby and weightinwords are both having hallucinations.
Meanwhile the world is waiting for Morsi's condemnation.
* crickets *
I say bring it. The more Muslim violence against America, the more America will open it's collective eyes to the obvious threat.
F'n bring it, Muslims. Dirty bomb, another tower, more diplomats. Whatever. The curtain's really going up on your BS, so why not let it all hang out... Oh, by the way, we'll be more than happy to replenish your populations with around 5 million Muslims that lived (past tense) in the U.S. Europe will send you even more so you'll have plenty of fresh meat to butcher. Hell, we'll even ship you a couple hundred thousand whining, whimpering, apologizing, condemning, and lying liberal atheists.
Enjoy.
STOP THE PRESSES:-->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TO MY SISTER AND BROTHER MUSLIMS: THERE IS A PEACEFUL AND EASY SOLUTION AND IT TAKES LESS THAN TWO MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.
From the studies of Armstrong, Rushdie, Hirsi Ali, Richardson and Bayhaqi--–
The Five Steps To Deprogram 1400 Years of Islamic Myths:
(Analogous steps are available at your request for deprogramming the myths of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Paganism..)
( –The Steps take less than two minutes to finish- simply amazing, two minutes to bring peace and rationality to over one billion lost souls- Priceless!!!)
Are you ready?
Using "The 77 Branches of Islamic "faith" a collection compiled by Imam Bayhaqi as a starting point. In it, he explains the essential virtues that reflect true "faith" (iman) through related Qur’anic verses and Prophetic sayings." i.e. a nice summary of the Koran and Islamic beliefs.
The First Five of the 77 Branches:
"1. Belief in Allah"
aka as God, Yahweh, Zeus, Jehovah, Mother Nature, etc. should be added to your self-cleansing neurons.
"2. To believe that everything other than Allah was non-existent. Thereafter, Allah Most High created these things and subsequently they came into existence."
Evolution and the Big Bang or the "Gi-b G-nab" (when the universe starts to recycle) are more plausible and the "akas" for Allah should be included if you continue to be a "crea-tionist".
"3. To believe in the existence of angels."
A major item for neuron cleansing. Angels/de-vils are the mythical creations of ancient civilizations, e.g. Hitt-ites, to explain/define natural events, contacts with their gods, big birds, sudden winds, protectors during the dark nights, etc. No "pretty/ug-ly wingy thingies" ever visited or talked to Mohammed, Jesus, Mary or Joseph or Joe Smith. Today we would classify angels as f–airies and "tin–ker be-lls". Modern de-vils are classified as the de-mons of the de-mented.
"4. To believe that all the heavenly books that were sent to the different prophets are true. However, apart from the Quran, all other books are not valid anymore."
Another major item to delete. There are no books written in the spirit state of Heaven (if there is one) just as there are no angels to write/publish/distribute them. The Koran, OT, NT etc. are simply books written by humans for humans.
Prophets were invented by ancient scribes typically to keep the un-educated masses in line. Today we call them for-tune tellers.
Prophecies are also invali-dated by the natural/God/Allah gifts of Free Will and Future.
"5. To believe that all the prophets are true. However, we are commanded to follow the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) alone."
Mohammed spent thirty days "fasting" (the Ramadan legend) in a hot cave before his first contact with Allah aka God etc. via a "pretty wingy thingy". Common sense demands a neuron deletion of #5. #5 is also the major source of Islamic vi-olence i.e. turning Mohammed's "fast, hunger-driven" hallu-cinations into horrible reality for unbelievers.
Walk these Five Steps and we guarantee a complete recovery from your Islamic ways!!!!
Unfortunately, there are not many Muslim commentators/readers on this blog so the "two-minute" cure is not getting to those who need it. If you have a Muslim friend, send him a copy and help save the world.
One day i hope mankind will put away the foolishness of religion. Unfortunately, that day may never come because to be rid of religion requires education and logic. Two things that require more mental effort than the mind-numbing ramblings of religion.
Sumbul Ali-Karamali Please read the head lines this morning? Maybe that is the reason why muslims in america live in fear?
The question is, why should we as Americans hold other Americans responsible for violence committed by Libyans/Egyptians/Pakistanis/Iraqis/Iranians?
For a better understanding of the history of Islam and the Middle East and the fear that is being generated within their own community since 9/11, we invite you to read the articles ‘World History and Developments in the Middle East’, ‘Clash of Civilizations’ and ‘CNN Belief Blog – Sign of the Times’ listed on our website http://www.aworlddeceived.ca
All of the other pages and articles listed on our website explain how and by whom this whole world has been deceived as confirmed in Revelation 12:9.
Just another whack job web site peddling their own brand or biblical translation. Honestly, this drivel gets so old and tiring.
@berg: revalations 12:9 " The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."
so a dragon has decieved the world? nice to know you still believe in fairytales. ROFLMFAO
you are such a troll, before you were spouting that obama was the anti-christ and that this passage in the bible confirmed it.
well i see no dragons and i'm pretty certain obama is human so go pedal your BS to those that enjoy story time.
Revelation?? Every one knows some dude crashed his camel into a field of burning poppies or worse to come up with that mess.
This poster is a TROLL on this blog, they are liars and they are trying to sell their book to support their cult. Click the report abuse link to get rid of this TROLL!
As long is they are in the position as in the picture I would live in fear to. You are only inviting trouble from priests.
lol
@sag
Damn it man, when is the last time you washed your feet?
Prayer changes things .
Pray. Yeah, that's the ticket... yeah.
The prayer of salvation is available to all, even the idolatrous, deceived Muslim can find peace with God in honest prayer to the one true God. allah is not God
@truth
Same God, different prophet.
Troll alert. Don't waste your time on this poser.
Our guys are so scared, they all bury heads in the ground.
Live in fear? Please. Fear they won't find enough white women to r–a–p–e for not wearing burkas? Fear of not finding men to assault en masse? Fear of not finding people's dogs to kill?
Muzzies are as big a cancer and parasite as the jew.
You are a shame.
