living their lives. I don't know why you guys are so afraid of Islam. Because of extremist. Christian extremist have blown up clinics murdered doctors, used fear and intimidation to control ppl. This happens in the US. But surely Christianity is not to blame for it. Clearly its the extremist. This is the same case for extremist who call themselves muslims. They're out of touch with the contemporary practice of the religion.
Also note this form of extremism began to stand out as societies all over the world decided to socially progress since the 1960s. So I think our suspicions should be pointed towards extremist, but I know it is much easier to just be bigots towards an entire religious community of 1 billion people, and oppress them thus generating more enemies. And the fact that Islam has been in N. America since the first indentured servants started arriving here(note: 400 yrs ago) it isn't some new thing that just suddenly wanted to become an enemy. Also the US is a multicultural, multi-religious society with a secular gov't that allows people to have freedom of speech and religious affiliation. If we cannot have tolerance among fellow Americans who are following Islam then how can we have this society?
