I seriously disagree with that.
"Pre-existing religious prejudices?" How do you think the Muslim views the Christian? The Jew? The Hindu? Or even the atheist? You're barking up the wrong tree here.
Do you remember seeing the Palestinians after the attack? They were rejoicing! I particularly remember this one older woman clapping and jumping up and down at a market.
How many imams came out and vociferously condemned the attacks? The RAT favoring media would have eaten it up had they had done so. But they didn't? Why?
Are you aware that we have Islamic grade schools in Detroit and Washington, D.C. that refuse to recognize Israel on a world map, and also teaches that it is okay for them to steal and/or hurt someone if they are not a Muslim? (Source: FOX News)
I've said it, am saying it, and will continue to say that Islam is NOT a peaceful religion. Period. End of story. Islam is incompatible with a free and open society. It doesn't fit.
America would do well by keeping her eyes carefully focussed on the Muslim population, both at home and abroad. The majority may not be hostile towards us, but, a large and sizeable number of them are.
We need to hurry up and recognize this, and forget all of the touchy/feely PC nonsense.
