ritzk; House of worship? They are guided by the teachings of a false prophet, something my Book warns against. Hate crime? I guess you are assuming white people did this as they are the only ones guilty of so called "hate crimes". Everyone knows minority's are exempt from doing hate crimes. Animal. Yep, been accused of it a few times. Party animal, been called an animal by a few female friends in private, and back when I had the ability to get into physical confrontations, I was an animal then also. But full time like Muslims, I don't think so. Look in the mirror yourself, and read Isaiah 64:6.

When you have had a family member murdered by a muslim, then let's see how you comment.

Wow. Breathtaking ignorance. I'm not a Muslim, but I know that a house of worship is sacred, and it is inexcusable to make comments implying that this hate crime is "good". The next time you want to call someone an animal, take a good look in the mirror.

Don't know why all the trouble with the fire. A simple blot of pigs blood at the site and immediately it is considered 'unholy' so they won't build there.

laverdad; you mention the Crusades. I'm familiar with them through books. Then there is the Spanish Inquisition, something else I'm familiar with through books. These things happened just a wee bit before my time. The things I listed have happened in my time, and are still happening; and they are happening ALL over the world, and are constantly in the news. Not to mention the failed attempts such as the shoe and underwear bombers, et al. And the final straw; they are killing American soldiers in the Middle East on a regular basis. I'm with you itsjustme; if they don't like it here, tell 'em to hit the road, go back to where they came from. Not just Muslims, but anyone else ( read Sikh's ) that doesn't like it here. Did I mention the killing of innocent women and children in their suicide bombings? And killing fellow Muslims? I repeat, ANIMALS.

laverdad, you make it seem real easy to tell the terroristic Muslims from the ordinary average Muslim. I've never seen one wearing a t-shirt that says "Warning, I'm a Extremist Muslim, Therefore I May Kill You." We dont know they are a terrorist UNTIL they commit a terroristic act, therefore you cant tell them apart. Until they wear some type of ID labeling them as a terrorist, society will stereotype them all as terrorists. Does that make me an uninformed bigot? If they dont like the treatment they get here, they can take their asses back home. If they are law abiding, hard working, tax paying respectful citizens, they let em stay. If they screw around and commit a terroristic act, shoot them.

It's easy. Those who are committing terrorist acts are extremists, those who don't do such things, are not. It's like those who are shooting up Sikh temples are extremist Christians, and those who dont' do those things are not extremists. There are extremists in almost every culture/religion/political party/so on and so forth. Generalizing an entire religion because of the extremists makes you uninformed at best and a bigot at worst.

How do you tell an extremist Muslims from any other one. They all look the same. It's just like keeping your eye on all pit bulls.

@ArkYank It's a shame that you generalize the Muslim people so much. Those actions were carried out by extremist Muslims. Of course, you mention all of those things without mentioning things like the Crusades or any of the horrible crimes perpetuated throughout history in the name of Christianity and God. Islam doesn't preach violence the same way that Christianity doesn't. Atrocities have been committed in the names of both religious. Christians throw stones at different religions when you live in a glass house of a religion yourself, and I say this as a person with Christian beliefs.
