Just several years ago, Shaykh Kabbani, who is the head of the Islamic Supreme Council of America, when he was speaking at the State Department, said that more than 80 percent of the mosques were controlled by extremists. And from all I've seen over the last four or five years, the situation has even gotten worse.

There are plenty of Muslims who live faithfully in the United States.

Muslim Americans in general tend to be an underrepresented political group.

There are millions and millions of patriotic Muslim Americans.

The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country - I know, because I am one of them.

The vast majority of Muslims living here are peaceful citizens. Unfortunately, however, we also see religious and political fanaticism among Muslim groups in Germany.

Many American Muslims are peaceful and define jihad primarily as an internal struggle to improve.

The fact is that there is a serious problem of extremism with minority groups within Muslim communities.

In spite of the polls, the fact is that American Muslims are very happy and they thrive in this country.

Americans have almost been conditioned to believe that the majority of people who seek to do us harm are those of Muslim descent.
