@theprof - i'm surprised americans are so tolerant of muslims especially since they continue to murder americans like muslim terrorist Nidal Hasan who murdered 12 soldiers in the name of allah.

Would you please stop associating the actions of a few as being the actions of an entire religion.

I don't think for one second that the US is Islamophobic (although some individuals obviously are), but you constantly sound like it.

A phobia is an irrational fear. A small percentage of spiders are harmful that leads to people having the fear. A small amount of Muslims are terrorists. Sure it is an irrational fear but considering the same principles of any other fear, it is bound to occur when terrorists (specifically Islamic) seem to be in a greater abundance than ever.

Here is an example, there was recently an explosion near where I live. The person thought it was a terrorists attacking, it is just an instilled reaction from what has happened to the West from a minority of brainwashed (insert word here) people from the east killing or fighting in the name of allah to kill/harm the infedels.

I think that media feeding you that national secruity is always at risk doesn't help.

National security is always crucial and one "health and safety" thing that many would argue that is worth keeping. It is all a question of the government believing there isn't a chance of something happening. In general in this country we assume the worst. Lawyers, circle us like wolves.  I do agree it is taken to far though, did you know we still have troops based in Germany incase we are subjected to an attack? Now that, is bizzare.

That all changes when the world cup starts ;P

Next time round I will definitely be assuming the worst to avoid further disappointment.
