Then she tried to tell me that the Koran makes no mention of killing non-Muslims.
At that point I just complimented her obvious intelligence and slowly... backed... away.
BTW, Surah 9:5, b*tch.
Muslims come from an Islamic culture. In that culture, you can be killed for being the wrong kind of Muslim. They carry some of that here. Their fear of the vilification of Islam is tied to the idea that Christians here might rise up and kill them. They actually think it can happen.
We have two Mosques in town because the two factions could not get along. They built an Islamic school right off I-81 and it closed during the split. It’s a very divisive and violent religion.
After 9/11, 5 Muslim kids disappeared from my daughter’s school. The families just pulled out and went back home. They thought they were in danger from a violent backlash because that’s the way it works in the Islamic culture.
