Americans have given thousands of their youngest, best and brightest in combat to save Muslims. This provides a number of important counter arguments to Anti American radicals who ground their rhetoric in the religion of Islam.

1. The world recently commemorated the inexcusable 15th anniversary of Srebrenica where UN forces allowed 8,000 Muslim men to be massacred. In the 1995 military intervention in Yugoslavia, the United States lead a NATO military coalition, against the wishes of the United Nations, to rescue a Muslim minority from ethnic extermination by Serbian President Milosevic. The extermination was typified by the UN's failed defense of Muslims at Srebrenica. There was no member of the intervening coalition from a Middle East Islamic nation. Today, that minority enjoys a new sovereign state created for their benefit by the United States-- Kosovo.

2. The United States in its first war with the government of Iraq in 1991 liberated the 2.5 million Muslims of Kuwait. Since that time, Kuwait has consequently adopted a greater measure of political freedom including the right of women to vote. Saddam Hussein was by his own political definitions, a secular Baathist dedicated to oppressing and suppressing Muslims in his own country and in Kuwait when he conquered it in 1991. The United States ended his rule of Kuwait and established humanitarian no fly zones over Northern Iraq and Southern Iraq to protect Muslim dissidents in those regions.

3. In the second war with the anti-Muslim government of Saddam Hussein, the United States lost more than 4,000 men and women combating former Baathist radicals and Al Qaeda radicals in the country. Even the vicious anti-American, Lancet report acknowledged that more than 75% of the civilian deaths in Iraq during the war were directed by anti-American forces against Muslims. The relative peace that has returned to Iraq since 2006 primarily benefits human life in Muslim communities of Iraq.

4. The Iraq war of 2003 ended the deadliest military rivalry ever fought since the end of World War II-- the Iran/ Iraq war. That war fought during the 1980s killed more than one million Muslims, utilizing chemical weapons, forced conscription of teenage males, and an array of grotesque inhumanities that never garnered any major "anti-war" movements in Europe or the United States. The ethically pretentious anti-war movement sat on its hands during the epic annihilation which primarily victimized Muslims.

5. Whatever one thinks of the oil trade, it is definitively the largest transfer of wealth in human history from affluent societies to impoverished societies. Since at least 1973, roughly one trillion dollars has been transferred annually from the economies of Japan, the U.S., Europe, and China to the Middle Eastern oil producing states. In many instances, the United States imposed embargoes in defense of human rights for Muslims in places such as Iran and Iraq -- increasing the cost and limiting the consumption of such imports to the U.S. Many of those oil producing states have chosen to use that wealth inappropriately, but the oil can hardly be argued to be "stolen" or 'imperial American acquisitions.'After all if we had wanted the oil we would have taken it from Iraq after they were defeated in desert storm.

6. The U.S. led war in Afghanistan brought to an end the inhumane rule of the Taliban for more than 20 million Muslims who live there. The Taliban constituted one of the most misogynist governments in human history. Delighting in public executions at soccer stadiums where family members were compelled to discharge AK-47s in the skulls of "adulterers," this government murdered Muslim women in order to create their own despicable spectacle of governance by terror. Today, those marginalized and dissident members of the Taliban ride about on motorcycles throwing acid in the faces of liberated school girls across the Afghan countryside in hopes of returning to power.

7. In 2005, the largest Muslim country in the world, populated by more than 200 million adherents, was struck by a deadly tsunami killing more than 150,000 people. The theological center of Islam -- Saudi Arabia -- provided a paltry ten million dollars in aid for victims. But Indonesia was struck by another tsunami soon after, a tidal wave of charitable giving from the U.S. The United States government provided almost 1 billion dollars in aid. Private charitable giving by private individual Americans provided another $800 million. It is interesting that you want our money but you threaten our very lives here in America.

8. More than $370 billion dollars in remittances is provided annually by the United States economy to the world. Many billions of these dollars flow to countries such as Kuwait, Lebanon, and Iran. These funds benefit Muslim communities in these countries. Remittances are funds earned in the United States by family members but sent back to communities in their host country.

9. The United States does provide demonstrable religious freedom unlike any place in the world. While European governments tightly regulate what is recognized as a legitimate religion, the United States does in fact allow the free exercise of religion -- including millions of Muslims. In sharp contrast, converts from Islam in Muslim nations such as Saudi Arabia face death sentences for a well known crime called "apostasy."

10. The US war on terrorism destroys radicals who have as their first and most significant victims, Muslims who disagree with their violent supremacist interpretations of Islam. When young girls are murdered by these radicals all around the world in the form of ‘honor‘ killings, it is rarely non-Muslims who are killed. These are Muslim women who are dying at the hands of these bizarre misogynists. The terrorists disproportionately kill Muslims. This is why in Iraq hatred of Al Qaeda is higher than it is in the United States. Iraqis witness on a daily basis the peculiar logic of bombings targeted at marketplaces where Muslims shop with their families. It is practices like these that are turning Muslims against groups such as Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas.
