Most US Muslims don't believe in forcibly converting non-adherents. According to a 2007 Pew Research Center survey, only 33% of American Muslims believe that Islam is the one, true faith leading to eternal life, and even then, a full 60% believe there is more than one true way to interpret the teachings of Islam. 63% do not see a conflict between being a devout Muslim and living in a modern society. 78% of US Muslims say they are “very happy” or “pretty happy,” and an equal percentage say that the use of suicide bombing against civilian targets to defend Islam from its enemies is never justified.

Certainly we should be concerned about the small percentage that believes in violence or forced conversion, but this does not justify fear or suspicion of all Muslims.

I think the wingnuts are getting frustrated because they assumed that this shooting would be a slam-dunk to galvanize their “kill all the moozlims!!” sentiments on a large scale. Turns out America is too sensible to respond to their hate rhetoric. How disappointing for 'em LOL
To anyone who considers this shooting a terrorist action I say:
Let's focus on the conduit thru which this “terrorist” received his weapons.The terrorist “network” thru which he received his high-powered cop-killer weapon & cop-killer ammo was…a local discount gun-mart. So if you really want to talk about “terrorists” lets get the NRA on the same page regarding accessibilty of their weaponry.

Right. And let's not allow Christian guys in the military either because they might turn out like Tim McVeigh. Onward, Atheist soldiers.

Maybe while they are kicking the Muslims out of the military, they can repeal voting rights for blacks too.
