I agree with political ghostdog, many adherents of Islam are not anti American, in fact I know a few who embrace the American dream, unfortunately they don't make near the noise that the extremists do.  At the same time I often urge them to be more vocal in their protests against extremists. 

Part of the problem is that the holiest islamic sites are also controlled by the extremes of Islamic culture.  This gives a great deal of leeway to small groups that are intolerant in that religion.

Thanks for the compliment Castle.  It is always at the back of my mind too.
