Let's compare, after 9/11 we invaded two countries, killed over one million people in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and thousands in Afghanistan. We tortured, raped, and sodomized even children in our detention centers. We mocked them while torturing them.
Do they have the same right we believed we had to go kill hundreds of thousands of people, in retaliation for what 19 hijackers did to us?
I think we need to stop this 'we have a right to be outraged' because the truth is, so do millions of innocent Muslims unless you think we are special with the special privilege of being able to go kill people if they kill our people.
Keep mocking them if you want to join the bigots on the Right and keep killing them as we are doing, but then don't whine when they get the same idea.
This President is trying to stop the stirring up of hatred for Muslims in this country and has made it clear 'we are not at war with Islam'.
Seems like you don't agree with him.
