I don't see praying to God many a times a day as a sign of goodness - it seems a bit fanatical to me. I believe in prayer and goodness, but it doesn't manifest itself in assembling at a church/mosque multiple times per day. How do you work and support your family if you are praying multiple times a day in a church or mosque? Which productive jobs support leaving work to pray multiple times per day?

Um, having a comprehensive strategy. Is that scary to you somehow ? I know the president has held his nose at one.

I see lots and lots of people going to pray to God multiple times a day. Something that most of us wouldn't even bother to do.
I see a group of people who, long before 9/11, had to face locals determined to kick them out of the neighborhood, despite their Constitutional rights to freedom of religion and assembly.
Anwar al-Awlaki was imam there for about a year out of its entire history. It is wrong to forever brand an entire community with a scarlet letter because of one bad apple. The scary history is one man, not the mosque.
Lastly, if we want peaceful relations with Muslims in America, the worst possible thing we can do is to persecute them.
Yes they do pray a lot. And the main Friday prayer kicked off by the imam is "Victory to Muslims over Qawm al-Kafirun" aka all non-Muslims. Every Friday in nearly every mosque around the world.
I'm really tired of saying the only way to be peaceful with those that follow the "religion of peace" is to overlook the inconsistencies altogether.
Have you been to a prayer service? You seem to know so much about it.
Yes. And you should be honest about what you hear at some mosques and through the whispers of the congregation.
That would be making progress towards peaceful relations.
