My request is in no way discriminatory. It's simply my preference to not have her paired with one particular child on any classroom assignments or activities. And yes, the mother does wear a rag on her head as well.

When she was in preschool, she came home one day saying a new girl in the class claimed to have two mommies. We had a long talk about that. I'll bet you think having two mommies is really cool, eh?

Children are very impressionable, which is what the liberal schools count on. This is where being a good parent comes into play, watching what is being taught and correcting as needed rather than go along with allow others to raise your children. It doesn't take a village, it takes a caring parent.

You call it hate. I call it recognize and avoid where possible. They have nothing good to offer in any interactions. You'd have our culture and society destroyed rather than stand up for it. Such cowardice is apalling.

To villify those who disagree is a time-tested tactic of the left. If you disagree with Obama, you're a racist, right?

Your posts show you're not simply in "disagreement", you're perpetuating & teaching ignorance, hatred, bigotry & intolerance. Baseless.

Yeah, I guess dating a muslim for 7 years, I know nothing. Your posts show that you are exactly the type of person that you're trying to vilify. Congratulations, and you have no idea. Ignorant. You're teaching hatred, ignorance & bigotry. You are part of the problem, not the lesbians or muslims simply going about their day. You are the problem. Fix it.

Very sad, but the bolded is obviously true to some folks. I am sorry to hear what you have been through. Take care.

Being an educated professional means I know a lot of Asian people, many of whom are Muslim.

Their Muslimness has never come up.

I am sorry, but can you please put yourself in other people's shoes?

You dated a Muslim lady, so I assume Muslims have brought joy and happiness in your life. Good for you and you are very lucky.

Many are simply not that lucky.

For those who only have had bad or even traumatic experiences with them, you can certainly understand why they think the way they think. Can't you?

What are you going to feel if you lost friends, arms, legs, loved ones?

No one should paint a group people with a broad brush, but why can't you be a little bit gentle with others who are obviously suffering and are in pain?

For example, I always tell my friend "think about your son, we all need to coexist with somebody, like it or not." He is doing much better now. No amount of shaming and personal attack will fix other people's feelings simply because you don't know what others have been through.

I don't trust any of them (Muslims).

I know of a local business owner who is moslem and is probably the second most active community supporter through charities and local fund raising/organizations. The biggest community supporter is a jewish business owner and has done a tremendous service for the local area in helping it try to revitalize it over decades. The Chick Fil A owner is a respectable third place. Of course, I could rattle off a bunch of moslem, jewish, hindu, buddhist and Christian and atheist business owners who do nothing for the community.
Nobody or group has a lock on good or bad behavior or weirdness or uptightness.
