[islamophobia]

With regards to your ignorance, it speaks for itself. Regarding your often misquoted media platitudinous word "Jihad", take a look at some logical and sensible responses here:

'islamophobia-dot-org" "articles" then "Jihad".

Unfortunately for you, until and unless you are willing to differentiate between SOME and ALL Muslims, there's no use trying to communicate with you because you're bent on delirious beliefs regarding a faith that is practiced by 1/5 of the world's population.

Education.

[floatpool]

Again the media getting the stereotype they want to promote, anyone NOT from New York or Los Angeles is a redneck racist. Why didn't they talk about how Muslim MEN treat muslim women as second class citizens? Why didn't they go to any Federal Agency where minorities get preferential hiring over more qualified people,that kind of stuff just doesn't complete the story they were looking for. I wonder about those firefighters that our new Supreme court justice screwed over, is that racism?

[islamophobia]

Actually, your statement is a direct reflection of such prejudice. By stating "how Muslim MEN treat muslim women" appears to be a very prejudiced and ignorant remark. I'm a Muslim man and I treat my wife just fine, thank you.

I am aware of how SOME Muslim men (as well as SOME men who are NOT Muslims) treat their women, but such distasteful treatment should not be linked to the Muslim faith, but rather, the lack thereof.

Islam's message indeed liberated women and none can take that away.

[floatpool]

Yeah, all the liberated muslim women I run into are afraid to talk to me, because their husbands don't like them talking to MEN from any faith. The Muslim doctors I work with treat the female nurses I work with like they are dirt, but they don't talk to me like that. but then I'm just a racist white guy, so how can you believe an infidel?  how many of the mass marches that your muslim brothers and sisters staged to protest muslim terrorsim did you join in on? oh that's right there weren't any

[islamophobia]

Yet another ignorant remark, basing your assumptions on the limited Muslim women you "talk" to in comparison to all the Muslim women worldwide. Maybe there's a reason why their husbands don't want you talking to them, I'm already getting the feeling I wouldn't also, but not because of anything other than your utter disregard for common sense conversation.

Speaking of "infidels" try researching the word and where it came from. Sometimes if one speaks of a lie often enough, they believe it.

[floatpool]

There were two people in the store who defended the muslim woman, and two people who didn't.. How would I fare in your country if someone discriminated with me? Would anyone defend my rights in Palestine? Egypt? Iran? Iraq? Saudi Arabia? Once again the media hating America..if it's that bad of a place maybe John can take his cameras to the middle east and enlighten us on how muslim women should be treated. Fair enough?

[islamophobia]

3 for 3. MY country is actually the USA. As to whether someone would defend your rights in those countries you mentioned, I cannot say, I don't live there nor have I ever been there. Apparently, you haven't also, yet you're jumping to yet another conclusion based on your prejudices which is displayed prominently here.

The beautiful thing about America is it stands for what's right, regardless of people like you who are caught up too much in bigotry, hatred, and prejudice.

I pity you.

[SomeGuyWithABucket]

ALL people black,white or whatever are capable of racism. It dosent matter weather what race you are. racism is not limited to 1 race...

[xHAMiiEx]

Racists are usally of a low mentality. 'I hate Arabs!'

'Why?'

'Cus they blow us up and stuff'. The majority of terroists are muslims, but the majority of muslims aren't terroists

estoy aqui gracias a don cheto

[safzuan]

may god bless these good americans.. but destroy their illuminated presidents..

[Tanmkm786]

This is just sad how Muslim's are treated, I dislike Rascism. We are all the same but with different skin colours.

[dizzyrun]

white ppl man ...

[AlexiisNicole]

@floatpool It's okay that you don't agree with their religion, you have the right to. But so do they have the right to believe in whatever they want to, and you just have to respect that and shut up. Besides, you can't just meet a few Muslim people and that's it, you just assume ALL Muslim people are like that. The first white person I met was my mom and she was really nice, apparently that's not always the case, is it?

[LonewolfSaichi]

All people are the same inside. Skin maybe different, beliefs maybe different, but we all live on the same planet. We all breath the same air, we all bleed blood, cry tears, etc. Racism is just a form of fear I think, but a stupid one.

[Moonbutterfly7]

Hah oh my god I live right near there and use to go there with my friends to get Kolaches. That's awesome some people said something to that man and it doesn't surprise me that assholes actually thought it was ok. I'm an Hispanic-American and I lived her for quite awhile and being from a big city and having to move here was quite a culture shock to me because I never had to deal with much racism til I came here and not just from white people, but from my own kind which is sad.

[FullBloodedHmoob]

[Falisia11]
