4. That's because finding anything negative about Islam is easy.

Finding anything positive takes work, and plenty of reading, so it's harder to do. And all too often the only people willing to do that harder work around here are merely looking for even more negative things to post.

I was going to post a quote from Rumi (I don't know such things off the top of my head) and discovered that our President's Interfaith organization is called the Rumi Forum.

While I suspect "knowledgeable" teapartiers know that Rumi was a Sufi, and by proxy, a Muslim (due to how much they like to associate Islam with the President, I would assume they are aware of this group) I found it interesting, and pleasantly surprising, they'd pick Rumi for such a group. I wonder if the rest of DU knows about it?
