“52. Peterike:

The contributions of millions of Muslims to American society? They don’t even contribute anything to Muslim society.”

Peterike, you would really benefit from listening to Powell’s endorsement on Youtube or MSNBC.com. Powell cites his problem quite succinctly with racsim and Islamophobia; for him it comes down to a picture of a grieving mother on her son’s grave in Arlington cemetery. The son, killed in Iraq at age 20, is the recepient of a purple heart and a bronze star, and on his gravestone is the Islamic crescent.

Here is the ultimate contribution to our country. Peterike, you should be ashamed for your characterization, but I doubt it, since that would require patriotism, honor and decency.
