You can read each personal story here: http://islam.about.com/od/terrorism/a/Muslim-Victims-Of-9-11-Attack.htm

There are also between 5,000 to 20,000 Muslim men and women serving in the US Armed forces. Many have been killed while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't have a full list but here are a few stories I could find:

Army Captain Humayun Khan, 27, was killed in Iraq in 2004 when he tried to stop a suicide bomber from attacking an American compound.

Army Spc. Azhar Ali, 27, was killed in 2005 in Iraq by a roadside bomb that blew up his vehicle while he was on patrol

In 2007, Army Spc. Kareem R. Khan, 20, died in Iraq when a bomb detonated while he and other soldiers were checking abandoned houses for explosives; Khan was awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.

Peter King, Fox News, and any other racists that support the hearings in congress investigating muslim amercians should be ashamed of themselves.

1. As Congress conducts yet another sideshow, I ask

Where are the Jobs?

[HopeHoops]

2. Racists like King don't give a shit about them - he's an "only good injun..." sort.

You can't reason with people who aren't capable of reason. All he sees is hate and right now that hate is directed at anything that's "lookin' Muslim". He's got it SO much easier than McCarthy. Joe couldn't use skin color or clothing as an indicator that someone might be a commie.

Racism is evil.

3. Republicans are sowing the seeds for Nazism

4. How about we discuss the radicalization of Christians, what they have done thru the centuries?

and BTW: Was Timothy McVeigh a Muslim? or the kids that shot up Columbine? or Charles Manson? How many terrorists in America come to mind from the last 100 years that were Muslim?????

5. Or maybe we should investigate Peter King who didn't have a problem with IEDs in Britain

as long as those IEDs were put there by the IRA.

6. YES!

7. Keith Ellison the Muslim Representative from MN

was in tears at Kings little McCarthy party. Telling the story of one of the Muslims that died on 9/11. Not that King gave a shit or anything.
