Just speaking for myself, I have had more than enough of slash and burn politics whether it's community organizing, religion, Iraq, whatever.

Those people speak to a tradition that I loathe and believe undermines our civil society most of the time. For every MLK there are hundreds or thousands of loudmouth wannabes who are just a nuisance and easy to ignore. Their followers pay the price for the leader's ego.

Some clips on Muslims.. Youtube is a great resource..

Muslims in America Part 1 and 2 looks interesting..

Some converted Muslims in Texas probably would be scary for some americans..

p.s. One thing to note is that even though this school looks like is following the whole hijab and other clothing restriction, majority of women in places like India and Pakistan where muslim women actually do not wear hijab or burka etc. depending on the economic, education and social conditions of the families..
