The basis of prejudice and bigotry is fear and ignorance.

And I'm conservative and Christian. My friend who's Muslim was very against terrorism, so I know not a Muslims are evil.
The problem is that anti-Muslim sentiment is driven by "Fear of the Other". Most people that have anti-Muslim sentiments are driven by the propoganda they received disguised as news.

More likely than not they have never taken the opportunity to get to know a Muslim person or viisit a Muslim community or country.

And what percentage of all death-by-terrorist bombings are they responsible for? Oh, yes, I forgot, you would not be interested in that number.

Nah. Trying to reason people out of position they haven't reasoned themselves into is a waste of keystrokes. Have fun with your fear.

You said it wall when you said "Nah", which I take as Cretin for "I can't because I have no evidence to the contrary"

All babble after your "nah" is irrelevant. You sound a lot like the people in the '30s who said Hitler was nothing to get worked up over. Many were Jewish, and gave up the gold in their teeth, the blood in their veins and the life in their heart to the "nothing to get worked up over" Reich.

Surrender accepted.

Those are not the only options.
What do you expect your dealing with an amazingly close-minded group of people.

One more time, it isn't fear of the Muslim, but fear of Islam. But I must say how "above the fray" you are with your holier-than-thou BS
