I know you didn't want any response, but I thought that since I'm not a liberal that perhaps I could...

I know many of Blacks who have converted to Islam. Some of these conversion have resulted in spiritual enrichment, while others in radicalism.

During the 60's and 70's there was a real struggle within the black community betwee the approaches of King and Farrakhan. Islam seemed to offer opportunities that Christianity hadn't been able to produce for over 200 years. I often thought that had I been a young black man in teh 60's or 70's, I would have been inclined to be a Black Panther. There was alot of injustice around then. As a nation, I think we were lucky that the King approach was the one most followed.

-That doesn't mean that we shouldn't be aware of the growth of Islam in the US and the impact on our future. Hopefully, the paths that England and France are on will nnot be ours. The radical elements must be rooted out, and hopefully this will be done by the Islamic communities themselves; although there is some evidence that is happening, I believe a larger effort is needed.

I don't believe our approach to our Muslem community should be one of anger, hostility, or even apprehension. I believe it should be one of caution, but hopefulness.
