Both, it seems to me, are functions of bigotry. Why? Because the essence of bigotry is to reduce the complex, varied, human individuality of a human being into a racial cipher. It is to smelt the irreducible complexity of a person into a racial caricature. It is to deny individuality; it is to give someone no space to think for him or herself, to free to be a person, and not a mere member of the group.

What a joke. Nobody around here would ever, ever dream of applying that kind of bigotry to the Arab / Muslim world. Never. Never in a million years. It just wouldn't happen among the fine minds of the righteous right. People like you just don't think that way, eh, Bill? No matter what demands the needs of W's war propaganda machine might place on the local advocates, they would roll over and die before ever exhibiting a hint of bigotry.
