    "You think anyone from the Islamic Society will go to a Passover dinner?"

    I've hosted all sorts of gentiles at my seders, including people who belong to the Islamic Society. Next question?

    p-Dave62, couldn't agree more with you more. If they, Islamists, believe they are being mis-represented then speak out louder and distance themselves from the carnage.

    There are over 1 Billion followers of Islam. To take the actions of a few & spread that across the entire faith, in my opinion , shows shallow thinking. The Catholic faith has numerous pedophile priests - is that all that defines that religion to you? Do all Jewish people follow the teachings of Meir Kahane?

    • "Discrimination is a part of the American way," said Zahid Bukhari, former president of the Islamic Circle of North America
    • "We are not represented properly in the media at all," said Syed Haque, president of the Frederick County Muslim Council

    Oh suffering me, they’re the victims of unfair malignment ....what a crock !!!!!

    Hey you want to make a case of victim start with answering to a host of readers why Islamics don’t get some sense of understanding they are FAIRLY identified with world carnage, human slaughter and suffering ...their cries are for all intent mute in indignation and condemnation of the Taliban, the Iranian Imam led regime, the custom of sharia beliefs and practices, the Benghazi massacre in fall of 2012, a bunch of taxi drivers who refuse to accept passenger fares who they feel violate Islamic customs and beliefs of faith ...the Boston Marathon bombing, the age old tradition of the call to ease Israel off the map, the 9-11 World Trade Towers, Pentagon and Flight 93 murder and carnage ...the list of modern day Islamic deeds of murder, maiming and attacks on non Islamics is long and bloody with no signs of fading away ...any reaching out can begin on the foundation of condemnation of this insanity ...it’s been 12 years since 9-11 so I strongly advise you not hold your breath waiting cause it ain’t coming...

    "government representatives" - You think the ACLU will sue?

    You think anyone from the Islamic Society will go to a Passover dinner?
