They are not the Borg

Recently the Whole country has been raging about the idea of placing an Islamic center at the Location near ground zero. I can fully understand the reaction from all sides. The People of New York are divided between the idea of freedom of religion and the lack of condemnation by the Muslim world for the terrible act of terrorism that took place on 9-11. Most Americans remember the Muslim world cheering in the streets as the Two world trade center towers burned and then fell to the ground. That has left a terrible taste in our mouths ever since that fateful day. The people of the United States collectively picked ourselves up brushed off our National pride and got to work kicking the shit out of the people we found to be the culprits. That has been going on for ten years now with no end in sight. The time has come to face our fears and our realities like Americans with truth and justice for all. How do we do that ? First of all, we have to realise that Muslims are not the Borg. If you do not know who the Borg is they are an Alien race of part machine part humanoid creature who conquer world and assimilate the population transforming them into mindless automatons. Muslims are not Borg they are Human beings that span the entire religious spectrum from non compliant to moderate to fanatical . They are fathers who love their sons and daughters, they are soccer moms, doctors, lawyers and yes cab drivers. But first and foremost Muslims are human beings with the same aspirations and dreams as any other.
Many Muslim clerics use their faith as a base of power preaching the need to conquer the Infidel lands and convert the unclean. These Clerics have corrupted the Islamic faith in their own pursuit of political power. This is common to many religious sects. We as Americans cannot allow this minority of religious power brokers to skew our view of Islam.
We as Americans must regain our foothold on our own faith and demonstrate to these Islamic terrorists that we are tolerant but will never allow them to replace our faith with their subjugation. We as Americans must weed out the root of the conflict with the Muslim world, that conflict lies within the state of Israel. For 60 years the Israeli government has displace the Palestinian people from their homes. The Israelis have bulldozed thousands of Palestinian homes to make way for apartment buildings set up for millions of Jews emigrating from Europe.
This situation has created a political lighting rod to draw Muslims to the radical belief that the US is evil. We as Americans need to stop blaming our selves or our policies for these types of problems. Like immigration ,drop out rates of high school kids and divorce we need to start tackling these problems at the source instead of blaming ourselves and others for the consequences.
To stop the flood of Mexicans into the US we must tackle the problem of poverty in Mexico. To solve the problem of terrorism we must root out the source.
