The fact that this is even a controversy makes me sad.

This is a pretty epic Fail America. *Shakes head disappointingly*

Muslims in USA don't have it as bad as Christians in the middle east. Religious persecution is a huge deal in middle eastern and southeast asian countries. I did a study project last year on Christians being tortured and killed in Burma and having to flee to Thailand to escape death.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that it is sad this is creating so much controversy when there are much bigger issues to address (BP oil spill, the economy, etc.) but Muslims should just be glad they are allowed to freely practise their religion and not cry over a little controversy.

You also have to remember the simple fact that we have the freedom of religion in America. Not every country has that, so when you compare us to another country you can't simply ignore that fact. It's bad out there, but we should be world leaders when it comes to our own laws. That is what is disappointing.

My view isn't towards Muslims getting upset over this controversy, I'm upset that some Americans are even getting upset with Muslims.

Okay that's cool. I should apologize then, I missed the point you were trying to make in your first post. You're right on the money with your thought.
