Suma, thanks for your earlier post to me.

The feeling you express about Muslims is quite prevalent these days. Some immediately will label it as racism or prejudice.

One sound justification for such anger is the perception that Muslims by and large have not been outspoken enough in condemning terrorist acts committed by their brethren. It aggravates the anger when these same silent Muslims ARE outspoken about being singled out for extra scrutiny in airport checks.

Curiously, the same liberals who might accuse you of racism for having anger toward Muslims will also talk about how hated Americans are in the world. But they never call the American-haters racist or prejudiced. Instead, they tell us that if we would only understand WHY these foreigners hate Americans, we would see that is really our own fault and that the foreigners are justified in their hatred.

Another double-standard?
