There is 316 million people in the US, I don't think you have anything to worry about if you think this country will magically become a Muslim country just because there are some Muslim people here. Not all Muslims are terrorists. You should befriend a Muslim so you have a better understanding of who they really are rather than trying to attach a boogeyman stigma to them.
I've had Muslim friends and we got along great. The reason that we did was because they weren't devout. Besides fasting during Ramadan, I didn't really see much difference in our lifestyles. But as I said, they weren't devout.

I assume you didn't think they too were terrorists, now did you?
You're a liberal! You're a neocon! You're a left winger! You're a right winger! You're a feminist, homophobe, hippie, redneck, yuppie, terrorist, elitist, conservative, radical, extremist, zionist (the wackos love this term), etc etc.
So pathetic. No one can have an opinion they base on the facts and evidence presented before them. Everyone has to have some ulterior motive because someone perceives them to be in some political or social corner. It's name calling for adults. Pathetic. So keep mashing those keyboards calling each other names and trying to out-snark each other every post.
This video is reminiscent of the Hitchens/MosDef argument on the same show. You have someone vastly more intelligent talking to someone who runs more on emotion than brains.
Some terrorists are Muslim doesn't mean all or most Muslims are terrorists.
...
This fear of anything Muslim is so laughable, it is like when right wingers use to fear anything Russian and Communist.
Problem is, everyone you disagree with is a "right winger" to you who you then complain about. So generalizing is only okay sometimes?
Islam's war on women is dismissed, can't generalize. But it's fine to fear monger that congress has a faux "war on women" to score some cheap political points.

More hypocrisy and double standards. Don't generalize a few to a large group... unless we're talking about your hated groups like conservatives or Christians, right?
Yet it seems like you guys all seem to think all or most Muslims are terrorists. How do you explain this fear for anything to do with Muslims?
No one thinks that. The discussion on the video is about the threat of Islam to Western liberal values. That's not fear. That's recognizing facts and forming opinions accordingly. It's called critical thinking. You should try it sometime.
