Must suck. b,121b,121People who follow a religion that's over a thousand years old and the 2nd largest in the world are now "terrorists" or un-American in many people's minds. I mean really, this is absurd. I'm not downplaying the impact of Sept. 11th, but someone tell me how this happened? It's now 8 years later and nothing has changed. Saying someone is Muslim or follows Islam is something that has be whispered or kept secret. The fact that people have been trying to tie Obama to the religion is all the proof you need that things are on a whole other level. But what I'm talking about goes beyond the current election.b,121b,121I've been to Mosque when I was a teenager and had neighbors and friends who were Muslim (at least for a minute!) and found that it wasn't for me, but what I learned is that at it's core, it's a very peaceful and accepting religion - despite what many people think. b,121b,121Anyway, I'm babbling, but I think it needs to be addressed more than it has been. I'm sure reading the WAPO comments on the latest Palin story isn't helping any. b,121b,121/font1

As you may have noticed above, Ayers has two children which he raised as Muslims (Malik and Zayd).b,121b,121b,121h,121
