To start with, I'm not condoning anybody throwing a pig's head at a mosque. It's ignorant, disrespectful, and silly, quite frankly. But the mayor weighing in, comparing Trump to Hitler, calling him an a-hole, is also silly. First of all, to condemn Trump's rhetoric by using inflammatory rhetoric of your own is pretty ironic if you ask me. And second, in the past two months we've seen a terror attack in Paris where over a hundred people were shot and killed by radical Muslims and an attack in San Bernardino where over two dozen people were shot and killed by radical Muslims...and the brunt of your ire is for Trump because he said we need to keep Muslims out until we can figure out what's going on?
I'm not saying Trump's plan is good, but I think it's just as plausible that anti-Muslim sentiment is being stoked by the fact that we're inundated with news of atrocities committed by the worst of their ilk.
Hate crime is wrong but expected after people get killed in large numbers. It will die down if the news media ever lets go of their steak. They are the ones causing the divide, and they LOVE IT>
...things are getting interesting to say the least..
...the next attack on US soil will only push people more into Trump's camp.
When one person throws a pig head from a pickup truck, it represents everything white people stand for, and therefore any figure in politics they can find related to them. When it comes to anyone else, its always the actions of a few that in no way represents 50% of them.
Doing something like that isn't cool. It's not who we are, there isn't any reason to terrorize or insult someone who hasn't directly harmed you. Not all Muslims are out to harm Americans, the terrorist do that sort of thing, shall we stoop to that level to harm or insult innocent people?
Muslims stand by and say nothing while the world is blowing up around them because of people who practice that religion and they (quiet pious so called peaceful muslims) do nothing against it by showing solidarity with those who are negatively affected. I am surprised all they did was cut off a pig's head.

Why is that?
Can't speak out for fear of retribution from their "own"?
The pigs head is news and should be addressed for what it is, ISIS loves these types of events it reinforces there philosophy. The events you mentioned have been covered extensively in the news, whatever that has to do with this.
ISIS wouldn't hate us any less than it does now even if we publicly tortured and executed every Muslim in this country.
I'm getting tired of the "Oh, we can't do that because then ISIS will hate us more and gain more recruits" argument. It's lame. No wonder liberals keep repeating it.

Significant percentages of Muslims -- even in this country -- support violence against non-Muslims and Sharia law. Just check out the polling by Pew Research. Trump cited some of those polls in his recent speech calling for a moratorium on admitting Muslims. And, of course, the lying liberal media ignored that.

Exactly.

There SHOULD be an uptick in anti-Muslim sentiment.
Muslims have been killing Americans in the name of Islam, in case you haven't noticed.

Well said.
Americans have been amazingly tolerant towards Muslims. And American Muslims have been amazingly silent about the terrorist acts committed by their fellow Muslims.

That's part of it. But certainly not all.
If the great majority of American Muslims spoke out against terrorism, Muslim supremacy and Sharia Law -- and reported likely terrorists to the authorities -- the supposedly small minority of terrorists would quickly be defeated.
So either it isn't a "small minority of terrorists" or the so-called peaceful Muslims support the terrorists.
Either way, it means we shouldn't allow any more Muslims into this country.
Furthermore, I understand that the great majority of mosques in America are financed by Saudi Wahabbists -- the most radical and terrorist-supporting Sunni Muslim sect in Islam.
ISIS wouldn't hate us any less than it does now even if we publicly tortured and executed every Muslim in this country.

It's about helping ISIS recruit, we are helping them when we take actions like this, I don't understand why this is such difficult concept to grasp. We are turning moderate Muslims away from us with out actions.

It goes beyond just sentiment, there was a mosque fire bombed in Riverside,CA.
This should go a long way to convince the millions of Muslims of our peaceful intentions.
