"You take out the words Muslim and Islam and substitute any other racial/ethnic/group in its place and you have good old fashioned Hate Rhetoric."

Your point might be valid if "muslim" and "islam" were racial or ethnic categories. But they're not. One CHOOSES to be an adherent of islam.

Which is why I included group as the third category so as to address druists, wikkians, rats,...those type of communities of people who volunteered to belong. I guess I should have used a different, more defining word.
