PrintAmerican Muslims angry at Bush
Simultaneous with news of the horrific ending of the Muslim hostage situation in Russia and another deadly terrorist explosion in Iraq and soon after still more Muslim terrorist suicide attacks in Israel and Russia, US Muslims are angry at Bush. Not one word of condemnation of their coreligionists' action but many words of condemnation of Bush. He doesn't understand our concerns, they whine. But they don't seem to understand American concerns.
Playing victim may temporarily suit their sensibilities and soothe the sensibilities of their apologists and appeasers. But even the AP's religion writer who erroneously describes the very partisan, very activist Islamic Society of North America as nonpartisan can't quite mask the twisted thinking of American Muslims.
Of course, any reporting from the AP is immediately suspect.
