For a person who lives in such a huge, multicultural center of the world, you seem awfully sheltered and wildly prejudiced. I live in a much smaller Midwestern city and I come across Muslims almost everyday. They're just people. You need to get out more and stop reading garbage online.
You're making assumptions that are just not truth.
I couldn't care less about Muslims, Islam and any other religion as long as they live their lives and don't interfere with the lives of other human beings.
We only need to be alive and listen to the news once in a while to realize that (many Muslims) don't qualify as peaceful and keep interfering with people that only want to live peacefully.
What part of me is wildly prejudiced?
The part that sees 99% of the terrorism today is done exclusively by MUSLIMS and repeats it out loud?
I cannot help it and refused to fall under the false umbrella of politically correct people who are afraid to call it as it is.
The source of terrorism and violence in the world comes mostly from Muslim countries, Muslim culture and Islam in general.
I'm not saying the scriptures are meant to be violent but they are certainly used to foment violence by many Muslims.
As you said I live in a huge city and I interact with Muslims almost every day (I like their Halal food sold in food trucks).
I have never being a friend with any of them and is not my choice, there's something that keeps our cultures apart and I can assure you is not my liberal western mind.
Muslims don't drink so forget about meeting one in a bar.
Muslims don't listen to music so forget to meet one in a club.
Muslim women don't date and would not even talk to random men on the street.
Muslims man seem to be always on the defensive.
Have you tried talking to a Muslim about the problems in the Middle East?
I have.
All the ones I talked to seem to have prepared the same defensive arguments. It's all the fault of the west. Islam is the perfect religion and the west would be better converting to Islam, that summarizes it.
So who is the prejudiced here?, you making assumptions based on your interpretation of a few lines? or me, who is talking out of experience and research and who is not bias in terms of religion?
