CABL Forum - Re: good muslims

support america or support muslims? most muslims in america are american. Not a very smart reply radio head, you get off the fence post and find a girlfriend. If you ask a christian if they are american first or christian first what would the answer be? If it was up to most people on the cable bar there would be another holocaust and I wont be a part of it and will do whatever I can to kill the cancer that starts it.

307 Muslims (men and women of a wide range of ages, races, ethnicities, and national origins) who are American citizens participated in the survey at the Muslims For A Safe America booth at ISNA.

The purpose of the survey was to better understand the views of American Muslims on issues relating to American national security. It is important to let American Muslims articulate their varied opinions on these issues in order to encourage dialogue within the American Muslim community and with the rest of American society.

Although this was not a scientific survey, because ISNA Convention attendees who visited the Muslims For A Safe America booth are not necessarily representative of the American Muslim community as a whole, the validity of the results has been supported by other scientific surveys.
