They're everywhere. They're in the grocery store next to you getting dinner for their families. They're in the schools learning next to your children. They're in your neighborhood. They're quietly living their lives just like you.

Extremists get all the attention because of the atrocities they commit. The terrorists want you to hate all Muslims, because they feed on hate. Don't give them the satisfaction.
(BTW, it's mosque not masque, and "imam" merely means "priest" in Arabic; it's not a negative word.)
