Questions

Questions I have about the topic of "fear and American Muslims after 9/11"
  1. Why are so many people opposed to the building of the Islam community center near ground zero?
  2. Where exactly is it being built?
  3. What are the details about the news story I've been hearing about - the church in Florida who wants to burn the Quran?
  4. What is the reason they want to burn the Quran? 
  5. Aren't they thinking of the consequences of their actions at all, like the safety of the American public?  Or are they trying to start a war?
  6. How has the Muslim community in America been affected by 9/11 and the recent new stories/controversies?
  7. What are the American Muslims doing to persuade suspicious/prejudice Americans that they are not to blame, they are not extremists/terrorists, that they are valuable to America and that they value being here in America?
  8. What can the American public do to educate ourselves?
