Stop it! Stop trying to blame all Muslims for the actions of a few.
You obviously have not been watching the news. The president, governor
of NY and mayor of NY have all cautioned everyone to not place blame
on all Muslims for the terrible deeds of a minority. I have seen many
Muslims on the news showing their support for the US. Yes, they are
keeping a low profile, but that is to be expected since there are many
ignorant people who will targe them for violence when they are not to
blame. The reason some of these Muslims are here in the US is to
distance themselves from other extemist Muslims who are causing so
much violence.
