You know, if you are going to hold up a sign saying Americans are the "enemies of humanity," prove it.

Burning any writing is not right, just or good. Americans should not be burning qurans, Bibles or nursery rhymes. Period.

But to hold up signs, and thus the ideal, saying "Death to Americans" just makes me want to roll my eyes to the Muslim argument and say, "Whatever."

This has to stop.

While Muslim leaders, American and overseas, are standing against the proposed burning of a quran by a Florida church they should also stand against messages like these coming from the Muslim community.

Americans are standing behind you, Muslim world, you just need to come on over and stand with us.

Oh, and put the sign down.

Americans: Stay the course
Those immediately grabbing on a madman's actions and using it to their political advantage is beyond real.

We, as Americans and Oklahomans, are fat, not pleasantly plump but obese
OK, honestly, how many times have you looked around while in the check-out line of Wal-Mart and thought, "I hope I'm never that big?"
