The Pakistani Spectator says : ” ‘War on terror' never became popular within Pakistan and it never got any support from public. One of the main reasons for people not supporting ‘war on terror' is the concept where people believe that this is America’s war against Muslims – or to be more precise, against Islam.”

As a MUSLIM living in America, and YES we have our own MOSQUES here, and we have groups where all religions come in worship to GOD, and sometimes to understand each other. We live in the same cities and neighborhoods as Christian and Jew, Bahai, Muslim and every faith which exists. We have no one descriminating to us, we all live together in peace and if moderate muslims would speak up and share this fact with the world, that we muslims live freely amongst other religions and beliefs in peace and friendships in one circle, working together and sometimes praying together for world peace…usa is not against the muslim, thet are against terrorist from any country and any religion..and unfortunately those terrorist muslim are destroying the name of islam so this should be all MUSLIM fight, against those muslims who make wrong of our islamic faith and use their own words, not islams words to do as they want…do not forget islam is peaceful and for ALLAH..not for making fight with anyone in HIS name, but to make peace in his name(if you are a TRUE MUSLIM! Allah Hafez~
