Muslim U.S. Congressman says 9/11 was hard on Muslims. Is this incredibly insensitive?

some people seem determined to see every Muslim as a criminal, or inferior, and it makes me sad.

Its fact isn't it? 9/11 was bad on everyone, and the Muslims suddenly became the scapegoats and targets of hate.

America should have celebrated the 9/11 terrorist attack, along with the Muslims all over the world. Instead of going after the Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan and elsewhere, America should have let the Muslim terrorists pound America at will.

i scoffed at the "9/11 was hard on muslims"

Me too.

He is just speaking the truth as he sees it. Muslims have been given a bad rap and there is a lot of hostility and hatred directed towards them. It is like all whites should be held responsible for racism and stupidity based upon the actions and teachings of that wacko church in Wyoming that pickets military funerals as there are gays in the military.

the man is right ..Muslims suffer more than you think

and to you Elena ...i thought you are better than that.sorry

thats true but history is going to write that : "the muslims are the terrorests"but not all of them are.
you people are just looking to the negitave side of the muslims.....the muslims are very kind, the aribic people are very good in treting others, my country is very nice place to visit..my family are so genries.
islam is the symbol of peace

It wasn't as hard as it SHOULD have been.

agree !

What about the people who died that day in the hands of Muslims !!!!!

All is usually a false statement but the muslims that planned and exacuted it was muslims!

You are a muslim? Those crazy Baptist that bother military funerals is not me either !!!!

Ignorant Muslim, he should say good bye to Congress for good, the United States does not need men like him representing us. 9/11 was hard on the people in the Twin Towers and their survivors.

He is not ignorant. Why would he say good bye to Congress? He and others like him need to be inside the body of the country which they are trying to destroy.

Then I guess he's in the right place.

...well, how many muslims, including non-combatants, died at the hands of American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, even though neither nation, nor any of either nations' people, had anything to do with 9-11?..yeah, I'd say it's a pretty fair statement...

What in the heck does that have to do with anything?

Not really in the sense that many low information people in America want to condemn all Muslims not just the radicals who follow a perverted radical version of Islam as the 9-11 terrorists did. They all too often lash out at any Muslim and still do to a lesser extent as shown by the Islamaphobes on this site who constantly rant about Islam and how Sharia law will be coming soon to America...as if we would ever that would ever happen? Please...

That makes about as much sense as calling all Christians evil like those who murdered abortion doctors or even the idiots at Westboro Baptist church who protest at US soldiers funerals.

And he's right when he said that many Muslims are working with us providing vital intelligence on Al Qaeda's top leaders whereabouts. It was that sort of Muslim supplied intelligence that gave us the locations of Al Qaeda's top leaders so that our drone attacks decimated over twenty of their top leaders in Pakistan, Afghanistan and even in Yemen and Somalia.

Another dumbocrat gee.....

Muzzie-Land is coming to your neighborhood...

No, I believe that many muslims didn't support the 9/11 move. While the select number did, there were opposing muslims. There's always the opposition to every move a faction, militia, & otherwise makes. You learn this in chess, chess has real world analogies, personifications and teachings in it. I think Carson had some right words in his speech and he's right.

If the US can stop invading other countries and keep their hands to themselves, they'll do just fine. Get your butts out of the middle east and go home. You do not know what you are doing and you might get some people angry.

Sounds honest to me, I'm sure Muslims did and still are facing alot of hostility..

And it is all unearned?

Most of it yes...

I disagree entirely. Muslims in many nations celebrated the fall of the towers and their holy book instructs them to kill non muslims.

Sorry I thought we were talking muslims in the U.S. and I'd say that many Muslims did not celebrate also...

Quran specifically calls for violence against non-Christians.

BFD
Not all Muslims want to kill non-christians or Americans.

They are instructed to by the holy Quran.

And Christians aren't suppose to murder or commit adultry either but they sure do..

They are instructed in the bible not to.

yes many fail. They are not encouraged to do so.

thank you.you are right.
