You honestly think American's feel they are at war with the muslim religion?  Every American knows we are at war with radical Islam, not just Islam all together.  Well, except for maybe the 150 or so a year who are dumb enough to commit hate crimes.  I mean, otherwise, you wouldn't have 155 hate crimes a year, you would have thousands, if not millions.  You would have also seen a huge backlash and violence against against Muslims when the Fort Hood shooting occured.  But, you didn't.

What I don't understand is it seems like you feel we should outlaw protests, or in other words, amend the Constitution so that people can't speak their mind.  You can't have it both ways.  "This group I support has every right to express themselves in anyway they see fit."  "Oh, but this group I don't support must remain quiet about their disagreements with what the other group is doing."  It doesn't work that way.  Nor should it.

I'm not expressing that opinion at all.

Im saying we are Americans. We are above that.

They have the right to feel they are being slighted. They have the right to protest. 

But we are BETTER THAN THAT.
