    OK

    Thanks Clay and Don - I deleted my post. I was right about the Catholic Religion but wrong about the Muslim Religion. My Apologies.

    from a one minute google search....

    -Muslim charity groups in the United States are too numerous to catalog, though the Bay Area Islamic Networks Group, the UMMA Clinic in Los Angeles, the Chicago-based Inner-City Muslim Action Network and Dearborn's ACCESS are examples of groups that provide crucial services and empower the underprivileged. In 2013, the Muslim charity Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD) was rated among the top 10 charities in the United States.

    -American Muslims have a substantial presence in the health care industry. The Islamic Medical Association of North America, one of many such organizations,estimates that there are more than 20,000 Muslim physicians in the United States. Similarly, an analysis of statistics provided by the American Medical Association indicates that 10% of all American physicians are Muslims. While no Islamic hospitals exist in the United States, per se, several Muslim-based health clinics do. And let's not forget that the hospital itself is not an American invention — it's an Egyptian one. For that matter, the father of modern surgery wasn't an American Protestant pioneer, either, but a 10th-Century Muslim physician from Spain, Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi.

    -It's also the case that Muslim Americans designed the Sears (now Willis) and Hancock towers in Chicago, developed the chemotherapy mechanism that treats brain tumors and revolutionized this country's original art form: jazz. They also contribute through their service as educators, lawmakers and soldiers and are on the front lines of campaigns to end some of today's most egregious civil rights abuses.

    -3,500 Muslims have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, according to US Defense Department figures provided to The Times. As of 2006, some 212 Muslim-American soldiers had been awarded Combat Action Ribbons for their service in Iraq and Afghanistan, and seven had been killed.

    Since the 2001 terrorist attack, 26 Americans have been murdered by radical Muslims on U.S. soil. Meanwhile, white, right wing extremists have killed 48, and, in the same period, over 150,000 Americans have been murdered by their fellow countrymen for all kinds of motives that don't include jihad or any other religion.

    So the country has lost all reason, and leading politicians want to turn the constitution on its head , to prevent .0017% of the murders, and what's more people are cheering and giving them standing ovations.

    It's horrifying to see where the country is going.

    From the frying pan into the fire has never been a good move.

    Steve,
    Interesting that no left wing people have killed anyone. Those Republicans are a violent lot.

    Just a matter of perspective. Certainly debatable.

    Sean,
    it was tongue in cheek.
    If a white wacko kills three in a PP building, he is a right wind extremest.

    If after black lives matter spokesman calls for killing cops and a mentally deranged black man walks up and kills a cop while he is fueling his police cruiser as happened in Houston earlier this year, he is not a left wing extremest, he is a mentally ill person.

    Anymore I have no idea if I'm left or right, but I know that just about every piece of information given as news or statistics in this country is tainted by one side or the other. Pretty sad that what happened in San Bernadino is responded to like this. One side just wants to talk about gun control, the other about discriminating against Muslims, and neither actually addresses what happened.

    Then there's an argument that all murderers are mentally deranged, including jihadists and people who perpetrate mass shootings in black churches and abortion clinics.
