as mentioned above the thread title is in "poor taste" imo.
i am so proud in numerous ways to be american but times of ignorance i am not. while in europe i have come across many muslims who are happy/wonderful ppl (especially once ramdan was over
), and not "extremists" at all. albeit they face prejudices every day bc of their religion and the lack of integretion in countries they now call home.
it's not a question about TJ sitting on the fence. but more of an issue of the american ppl wanting to categorize everthing that is wrong in the world to a small % of ppl.
there are plenty of issues that we don't stand up for...this is one of many.
off my soapbox now...
