I was deeply moved and disturbed, but grateful for the airing of the story on the Tulsa Islamic center.
Unfortunately, I feel the story is more important than the follow up given to it. I  have great admiration and also empathy for the man who dared air his inside view of the Islamic center; the community should be outraged and stand by this man.
The disturbing part is that this honest man, who obviously knows his religion, was threatened with grievous harm for "airing laundry" before "non-believers." It also leads me to believe that it is a good bet that subversive, intolerant teachings are being spread in our own back yard. It would not be an uncommon nor paranoid belief, as mosques  the world over are proven sanctuaries for radical teaching and the distortion of Islamic teaching. I believe in tolerance, but I also believe that tolerance should be earned and acknowledged. To be persistantly tolerant of the intolerant is nothing less than stupidity. If, we as Americans and Tulsans are viewed by the majority of Muslims as "non-believers", then I must ask why they are in this country? I believe that this man's story should be listened to with a great seriousness and not forgotten. We as  Americans can be too tolerant; too willing to ignore important signs, too willing to put our head in the sand and hope for a better tomorrow, but I'm afaraid that the definition of insanity is, "expecting different results from the same behavior". I pray for this man and applaud his courage. I hope his voice will not go unheeded.

Raindog expresses views to which I am in total agreement. I have in my possession a DVD titled:

ISLAM: What the West Needs To Know. It is a 98 minute film depicting the true intents of Islam. While we in the west [The United States] have been lulled into an apathetic unconcern by leaders in our country who publicy have said ["Islam is a peaceful religion"], the truth is that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology, whose ultimate intent is to subjugate any faith or culture to their way of thinking. Anyone who is not a Muslim is considered an unbeliever. The Koran says that if unbelievers don't come to the Islamic way of life, they should be killed. In the U.S. they are peacful for one reason only....they are in a minority. When they become a majority...watch out. The DVD can be purchased at Amazon.com
