Are we endangering Muslim people in the U.S. and around the world?

My wife was at work today and they had FAUX news on as usual. My wife tries to ignore it but sometimes she catches glimpes of it and what she saw really scared her. the Headline was "Home Grown extremest". It showed 3 "Muslim terror suspects" all of them dark skin either converted to or born muslim -from the news the past year.


What really made my wife become nervous is the fact that a couple right-wing middle aged women basically now equate the word Terrorist with Muslim. She began thinking and realized in the past years since 9/11 the media and repugs have been drilling it into peoples head that Terrorist equals muslim.


Think about Tiller's kill and the guy who just stabbed the cab driver. Westboro Baptist Church, These being done by a person of muslim how many people would be crying or labeling these terrorist?

2. Hate, especially when coupled with political power, typically does

endanger people that are it's target.

3. Absolutely and what is worse is that this is very deliberate.

The Republicans should really feal ashamed for what they are doing.

4. Not "we." Fux News and the fear-mongering slobber mouths are

That's not we. That's a few nutters to which the "liberal" media has decided to give voice.

5. Not to mention traveling Americans and our troops that they are

putting in danger. They really are playing a dangerous game that will only end in bloodshed.
