Anti-Terrorism, yes, but America anti-Muslim? Really?

Here in Detroit, we have the second largest Arab Muslim population outside of the Middle East. They run their own businesses, restaraunts, mosques, legal services, health clinics, car dealerships, book stores, bakeries etc. here in the city of Dearborn. There are some very wealthy muslims living in the suburbs, as well. You would pass out if you saw the house of a prominent Pakistani physician I pass on my way to work: it looks like the freaking Taj Mahal, and good for him.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to designate America as officially "Anti-Muslim." I would say America provides a decent, peaceful life to many muslim-americans. How many Muslim countries give such a welcome to an American presence?
