Main stream media and many politicians and other “phobes” have expended a lot of effort to portray Islam and Muslims as a menacing, threatening force in America, despite all the evidence to the contrary. You can find a lot of negative publicity about Muslims all over the blogosphere, so I’ll take the time to show you what some of your neighbors are doing to improve relations between the different communities as well as make a positive contribution to their society. The three health care clinics mentioned in this piece are probably just a drop in the bucket in terms of the service Muslims seek to give to their communities. The health care clinics in Flint, Michigan, Tampa, Florida and San Bernadino, California offer free health services to citizens of these cities regardless of race, color or creed. George H.W. Bush called it a thousand points of light, and later on Colin Powell became the focal point for volunteerism nationwide, emphasizing the need for people to get involved in improving the quality of life without relying on big government to do that. It seems the Muslims in America have taken that advise to heart. It won’t stop the Islamophobes from their spread wide innuendo and rumor and fear mongering….but it will improve the quality of life of some of the people in the cities and towns where these Muslim professionals are busy at work.

Hilarious
I was doing some surfing early today and ran across this article and laughed until tears ran down my face. As an American, I simply don’t see how anyone could propose this with a straight face, and its merely being stated is a sure sign the Israelis are NOT interested in peace.
A week after President Barack Obama’s address to the Muslim world, Netanyahu said the Palestinian state would have to be unarmed and recognize Israel as the Jewish state — a condition amounting to Palestinian refugees giving up the goal of returning to Israel.
With those conditions, he said, he could accept “a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state.”
That’s kinda like me telling my neighbor, I’ll accept him living next to me if he just turns in his firearms, because only I have a right to own them. It’s not happening….and with such foolish conditions, neither will peace in the Middle East. The Palestinians have practically given in to the other terms in the above quote; the right to self-defense would surely be the final nail in their coffin. Accepting it would only realize the holocaust political zionism wants to impose on the people who occupy the land.
