Jeff you are about one of the most disingenous individuals I think I
have read.  If Muslims do not speak up against the terrorist acts then
they are indeed part of the problem.  If they are American citizens
and only speak up against the terrorist acts themselves and are not
equally outraged about the fact that their new homeland(which they
chose to come to and swear an oath of allegiance to) then they are
just as traitorous and despicable as the terrorists themselves.

I honestly believe that any Muslim who would stand up and say he was
proud to be an American, would be so swamped with offers to come to
dinner that in a matter of weeks they would be unable to fit through
doors.  Look, a lot of Americans who now distrust Muslims also are
aware that there cultures are more reticent at time and in certain
circumstances, but these are extraordinary times and it is up to the
Muslim to make a slight adjustment.  Afterall this is America not his
native land, which if it were so goddam wonderful he would still be
there.  

I want some small assurance that my neighbor is another American( be
he any color creed or have four legs) and not some crazed son of a
bitch Muslim fanatic.  
Computers are basically very fast idiots.
