it IS us
"This is definitive proof that the United States is not anti-Islam, something that violent extremists like bin Laden often accuse us of being in their propaganda."
BUt we ARE anti-Muslim! This article is about all the ways we are. And if you want to say that Coulter and Fox News and certain troglodytes in Congress don't represent us, then god damn it just come out and say it. But don't try and deny the very truth you document!
This nation has ALWAYS been of two minds. "We the people" didn't include the black slaves that built this place. Wilson of the League of Nations also brought us the Palmer Raids against immigrants and labor organizers. We have ALWAYS been two faced about tolerance and opportunity. The sooner we face this reality, the sooner we will come to terms with it. Pretending that such bigotry is not US just destroys our ability to deal with it.
