Where's the Muslim community on this? Why aren't they condemning his actions and saying Muslims don't believe in this sort of terrorism? Have you ever seen any "Muslim community" extend their feelings toward non-Muslims?

Viewing any religious or ethnic group as a monolithic entity is shallow and I can accept people as individuals, but the fact remains that every Islamic country in the world is what it is. * * *

There's a big obamacare rally in Los Angeles this thursday. It's being promoted by Moveon.org. Countdown to Change Rally Representative Waxman's Office, 8436 W. Third St. (Map) Los Angeles, CA 90048 Thursday, November 12th, 12:00 PM Let's keep the momentum going! Please sign up for this gathering right away I think we should go so that there are dissenting voices. Dear MoveOn member, Huge news: After decades of progressive efforts to fix our broken health care system, on Saturday night the House of Representatives made history by passing health care reform!1 But now comes the real hurdle: the Senate. Winning there is going to take a massive organizing effort—and we're kicking it off with big rallies across the country this week to celebrate the passage of the House bill and demand the Senate do the same. We've been pushing together for months. But now it's go time. There's a rally in Los Angeles on Thursday—can you come? Click here for details and to RSVP: pol.moveon.org The House bill isn't flawless. It includes a compromise version of the public option and an ugly anti-choice amendment.2 But it's a huge step forward: it would expand coverage to 96% of Americans, offer more choice through a national public option, and help end Big Insurance's stranglehold on our health care system.3 And the only way we'll get anything like it through the Senate is if we all come out right now and demand it. Less than a month ago, conservatives and Big Insurance were gloating that health care reform with a public option was dead. But millions of us showed up and spoke out, and we proved them wrong. This week, we'll seize the momentum to move the Senate action forward. We'll thank House members who voted for reform, and call out those who voted against it. Then we'll turn to the Senate and make sure our senators know the ball's now in their court and it's time to get it done. Can you come to the rally in Los Angeles on Thursday? Click the link below to RSVP: pol.moveon.org Thanks for all you do. –Kat, Carrie, Anna, Ilya, and the rest of the team
