(36,385 posts)1. A few days ago I spotted someone posting that in response to someone talking about anti-Muslim bigotry in the US.
2. This current OP supplies a very blatant and ugly example of anti-Muslim bigotry in the US. Those who are doing it do claim they merely have a problem with the teachings of Islam, but it's very clear that they're not merely doing that, they're adding in what makes it bigotry, which is stereotyping all Muslims.
3. I wondered if the DUer who posted the thing I mentioned a few days ago would rethink what they said after seeing this and the related incident where that Teabagger politician insisted any Muslim visiting her office had to swear an oath of allegiance to the US using an Israeli flag.
To say what I'm saying just a bit more - I'm an atheist so having a healthy dislike of religion is inbuilt for me. Where I draw the line is when I see people using hate and stereotypes against any minority group or holding one minority to a standard they don't hold themselves or others to.
THAT was what I was saying...
