muslims are the only group in america who you can talk about in such disparaging terms, you cannot frame a question so negatively about any other group of people - is it a negative to be a jew, black or a catholic?




and the worrying thing is thats its become the norm, its completely normal for a lot of people to implicitly make statements that imply something negative about islam, theres a lot to admire about the US but i would hate to live in the US right now, it sounds like an US vs THEM situation over there

The External is a reflection of the Internal.

It is a terrible time for all, not just Muslims in the US - consider all those whose politics have been reduced to villifying each other as religious and ethnic groups -- In the US today, most people are just not aware of what the outside world really thinks -- and it what's really sad is that the US can be a power for good in the world - but as it is now, well, what I can tell you, it's just sad, tragic even.

Super cartoon Dabong - the hypocracy, the absolute lunacy that seems to have enraptured a section of the US public is, beyond belief.

From what lofty heights of law and reason have they fallen to fastastic lows of sentiment and hypocracy.

USA Lead, the world will follow - but first get yourself respectable, otherwise be prepared to be among followers, not leaders.

That's not us. We do not suppress discussion. Accusations of hypocrisy that people try to paste on the U.S. usually melt when exposed to the twin suns of fact and context. But there are a lot of people who prefer to throw around accusations while remaining in the dark.

Muslims, Jews In US Still Like Obama

WASHINGTON, Aug 27, 2010 - Muslims and Jews in the United States remain among the most ardent supporters of President Barack Obama, whose overall job approval ratings have been falling sharply, a Gallup poll showed Friday.

The survey which tracked opinions over a period from January 21 to July 31 showed 78 percent of Muslims and 61 percent of Jews approved of Obama's job performance.

The president's overall rating in the Gallup poll has slipped from 63 percent from the January-June 2009 period and 53 percent in July-December 2009, Gallup figures showed.

But Muslims and Jews -- which each represent less than two percent of the US population -- have remained largely favorable to Obama even though his ratings have fallen among all faiths.

Among Protestants, which represent a majority of Americans, Obama's approval rating has slipped to 43 percent in the latest poll from 58 percent a year earlier.

Catholics gave Obama a 50 percent approval rating from 67 percent last year.

Just 24 percent of Mormons, who have been among the least favorable toward the president, approved of Obama's job performance, down from 43 percent a year earlier.

"President Obama's job approval ratings have fallen significantly between his first six months in office and this year so far, and his ratings among major religious groups have fallen in rough lock step," Gallup said.

"The pattern that pertained when Obama first took office -- high ratings among Muslims, those with no religious identity, those identifying with non-Christian religions, and Jews; and lower ratings among Protestants and Mormons -- continues today.

"Although his standing has dropped among Americans in each of these groups, Obama has retained a little more strength among Muslims, the group giving him the highest ratings, and has lost a little more among Mormons, the group giving him the lowest ratings."

The poll comes with Obama trying to steer a course amid a controversy over plans to build an Islamic center near the site of the World Trade Towers destroyed in the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Obama this month said that Muslims "have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country."

A day later, Obama clarified that he was not commenting on "the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there," a location he described as as "hallowed ground."

Republicans have denounced the planned construction, arguing that a Muslim place of worship near the place where Islamist extremists attacked the United States is offensive to the victims of 9/11.

A separate poll released earlier this month showed 24 percent of Americans identified Obama incorrectly as Muslim.

The Gallup poll tracked the views of more than 275,000 Americans and has a margin of error estimated at one percent.
