"Last night I wasn't a racist, but today I feel racism towards Islamic beliefs," it read.

Except disliking beliefs isn't racism --- disliking Nazis is the same thing --- it wasn't because of their race but because of things they did and what they believed.

And their beliefs are making me mighty uneasy. They are putting up a new Mosque down the street. Four or five years ago this would not have bothered me. Today I am considering moving.

Although I have had run ins with Muslims in other countries and learned to walk warily around them I guess I put American Muslims in a different category. I no longer can delude myself that American Muslims are different. Not when their recent actions are showing me that they are no different at all.
