Phil,
I know that most beliefs are built through a lifetime and thus don't change
easy and I sure don't mean to belittle a person's opinions. My reason for
being so vocal is because I have seen too many times in my life where such
beliefs meant injustice.

Here's a URL of an article about injustice being caused by just such beliefs.

Would you say that this represents all Americans? Should I suspect that each
American I see is willing to run down an innocent woman in the streets "For
my country!"? Should I believe that you are firebombing a mosque unless you
prove otherwise?

I just believe it is wrong, foolish, and illogical, to judge a group by the
extremists within their ranks.
