Being a muslim is not a bad thing. Any more than being a Christian is being a bad thing.
Being a terrorist IS a bad thing.
Doesn't matter if it's a Christian terrorist (of which we have many, here in the United States) or a Muslim terrorist.
Personally, I'm more afraid of the home grown Christian right wing terrorists such as the ones that killed all those babies in Oklahoma City and Waco Tx.
People like this woman scare me.
And to think if McCain (remember him?) wins, she is only a very old and over used heart beat away from the presidency is truely frightening.
