      charlie misses a critical point. He asks one of the muslim panel members directly is there a network of muslim extremists commited to harming america? The panelist then responds: in America? when charlie confirms that is his question the gentleman replies no. who could have known, nationality aint that important.

      jesus, a talk with bibi netanyahu on a possible peace agreement with syria. Its now 15 years later and we still have the same old faces talking about the same old things.

      It's unsettling to see how hostile every single Muslim on the panel was to the movie, and it's particularly disturbing that the best response they could come up with was essentially saying that Jews are evil.

      I agree with the other commenter about the state of denial of most Muslims about the issue. They simply refused to admit that there was any problem at all, and instead were only concerned with their own, precious, self-image. Perhaps they should have considered the fact that their fellow Muslims can do far more damage to the image of Islam than some documentary film maker.

      ABDURAHMAN ALAMOUDI SENTENCED TO JAIL

      IN TERRORISM FINANCING CASE

      WASHINGTON, D.C. - A U.S. citizen has been sentenced to 23 years in jail on charges related to his activities in the United States and abroad with nations and organizations that have ties to terrorism, the Department of Justice announced today.

      Aldurahman M. Alamoudi, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Eritrea, was sentenced to 276 months in jail... Alamoudi pleaded guilty to three federal offenses: one count of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which imposes terrorism-related sanctions prohibiting unlicensed travel to and commerce with Libya; one count of false statements made in his application for naturalization; and a tax offense involving a long-term scheme to conceal from the IRS his financial transactions with Libya and his foreign bank accounts and to omit material information from the tax returns filed by his charities.

      Is it not frighteningly ironic that when asked the question whether or not there were radical jihadists in America, Mr. Abdurahmad Alamoudi unflinchingly and categorically denies their existence, only to have these non-existent jihadists do what they did in New York a mere seven years later?

      I think it says allot about the state of denial the moderate Muslim-American community was in then, and continues to be now, when they show much more concern and activism at all levels for acts of discrimination against them, than they show for the barbarity of their coreligionists.

      I have been asking the following question since 9/11, after which Muslims claimed รข?? and continue to claim - that these jihadists comprise a minority within Islam that needs to be confronted by moderate Muslims. The question is this: Almost six years after 9/11, where is the Muslim Martin Luther King Jr. or Fredrick Douglas or Lincoln of the moderate Muslim communities?
