What do you think is the root cause of all the Muslim bashing going on in America today?

Asked by Ivy (2482points) November 3rd, 2010

I’m sick of the current onslaught against Muslims, and the assumption that all terrorists are Muslim. Have we forgotten about the Unibomber or Oklahoma City since 9/ll?

I find it strange that that this hatred for Muslims, mosques, and everything Middle Eastern has come so late. Right after 9/ll, Americans were hating on the French, and our president was flying Osama bin Ladin’s extensive family in America back to the Middle East at a time no American could fly anywhere. Where was the outrage against Muslims (in general) then?

Yes, it’s the media that’s spreading the hatred, but those stations are just spokesperson for the military industrial complex. And those same stations seem to highlight the mistaken idea that America is a Christian country. Is the government using the gullibility of the religious to support the continued wars in the Middle East? Do BOTH religions (Christianity & Islam) have a hard-on for their Armageddon, Rapture, virgins and whatever else they imagine will be their reward for destroying… everything?

What do you think, why all the hatred?
