I thought that too. I had an ethnic Indian muslim coworker who I thought was wonderful. Until 9/11. I put a sign in my cubicle that said “God Bless America”.
His mask didn’t just slip, it fell completely off.
Almost all Muslims basically do not respect any other religion. But my point remains valid...how many Muslim terrorists have origins in Indonesia or India? There are like 500 million or more Muslims in just those 2 countries.
I will bet money your co-worker, the Indian Muslim did not threaten you with violence! But I am sure he was delighted that for once some Muslims were successful in causing havoc in the United States.
