Nope, it is not. As you are a part of it, hating it is just sad.
It seems it is easier to hate someone than to get to know them.
Why can't there be more of this? A friend of mine has a son-in-law who is a Muslim. He says he's constantly asked if he is a Muslim or Sikh and he said he responds Muslim. My friend said he should be responding that he is a Canadian. He was born here. I thought that was a good answer!

But Muslims are worried about being victimized because of their backwater beliefs.
Hey, they gotta play catch up to the Christians, give them a break.
If there are peaceful Muslims they should stop calling themselves Muslims. That would alleviate their fear of backlash against Muslims.
As it stands, Muslims are like members of the Westbury Baptist Church telling the public, 'But this is NOT what we believe'.
If it's not what they believed the smart thing to do would be disassociate themselves from it.
Muslims could still have their faith in Allah without calling themselves Muslims.

We had a rotten troll in here called dave. You should stop calling yourself davesmom. I'm sure it's easy to find something else to hate with the name change - like a tone or two colour difference, or an accent....
meh People are hardwired to categorize. So, a rose by any other name ....
But, it is a good point. If people started saying, "I am a humanitarian" or "I am a duck" or even saying, "mind your own biz" rather than referring to anything political or religious, they might avoid some of the hostility directed at them.

I agree. Additionally, if there are Christians that aren't hypocrites, they shouldn't call themselves Christian.
They have every right to because we are a reactionary lot us humans. We like to move before we think.
and when you think about it, do the rest of us get asked what our religious affiliations is? No. Very seldom do I get asked if I'm Catholic, usually only after me telling someone I have 7 kids. What someones religious affiliation really is no ones concern.
