not all arabs are islamists.

In fact theres a decent population of Arab christians in southern ohio that are incredible citizens. If by natural environment you mean the middle east, then I don’t put blanket blame on arabs for the actions of the radicals.

Nor would I blame all blacks for gun crimes, all whites for abortion bombings, etc

He campaigned for a communist in Kenya that made a deal to implement Islamic law. Is that extreme enough for you?

Yeah, yeah, I understand the “generalizations” stuff. But they exist for a reason. Yes, there are some Arab Christians. Yes, there are Asian kids who suck at math. Yes, there are Southerners who hate beer and guns. Yes, there are military officers who love liberals. Etc, etc, etc.

However, given the reasons why such generalities exist, you formulate your base opinions and adjust it on a case-by-case basis. I didn’t hate every Arab I met over there, but it was close. My opinion of Arabs (in general) will always be negative, adjusted to the occasional individual of the same background I meet who doesn’t deserve scorn.
