In the aftermath of the worst tragedy on our shores Americans are asked
to restrain our emotions, anger and hostilities towards Arab people. We
are told to be tolerant as not all Muslims attacked our nation.
This is absolutely true. Only the monsters who planned the attack on
Sept. 11th should be held accountable. And will be.
The men who came from the Middle East entered our country, lived
amongst us, enjoyed the freedoms and liberty all citizens enjoy. They
were free to worship as they pleased and participate in whatever
endeavor they chose. They saw acceptable and freedom here, that
non-Muslim would be allowed in strict Muslim nations.
They knew Americans, worked with them, befriended them. Yet,
this did nothing to dissuade them from destroying the lives of
thousands of families who they did not know or caused them harm.
Most of us will be tolerant. But, there will be some who will be uneasy
in your presence. Many may not want to fly on the same plane boarded by
men who look as the terrorists did?
But, I also pose the same plea to the Arab world, where is your tolerance,
your understanding of what the American people feel?
Can anyone you blame us for feeling the way we do? Are we wrong to look
at people with similar features in the same way?
Our nation is at war, not with majority of the good people residing in the
Middle East, only those who refuse to use the political and diplomatic means
to air grievances. We are at war with zealots, who hide behind the cloak of religion.
Now is the time for resides of our nation, citizen and alien alike to bond together
to kill the terrorist threat.
The over seven million Muslims in our country must become a visible and vocal
enemy of terrorism. They must win back the confidence of non-Muslim citizens,
all but destroyed by these monsters of all free and good people.
