At presstime, organizer Hassen Abdellah, president of the Dar-ul-Islam mosque in Elizabeth, N.J., said a Sept. 25 prayer event would draw tens of thousands of Muslims to pray in front of the U.S. Capitol “for the soul of America.” Saying the event was the first of its kind, Abdellah added, “We’re Americans. We need to change the face of Islam so people don’t feel every Muslim believes America is ‘the great Satan,’ because we love America.”

Witnesses at that event said that only arabic was spoken, and those that understand arabic said that the event was all about total submission to Islam by America.
I believe that when muslims say they "love America" they are talking about real estate. Not our constitution or way of life.
