As far as your question. The Jews have been persecuted for centuries as a group. The Muslims have not beeen.

My question was who experiences more discrimination in the USA today, Jews or Muslims? Here's the original question if you've forgotten.

Are you sure the above is your answer to my question because it seems like you've made up a new question....

They would not be even noticed today, had it not been for 9-11, AND THE FACT that as a GROUP, the Muslims have not come out AGAINST the Islamists vowing to kill Jews, Christians and Americans. When the Muslim population world wide decries the Islamists, the 90% of the Muslim population will again live in peace. It is the 10% of the Muslim population that is the radical piece of the group that causes the trouble for everyone else.

This sounds like your reason why the world dislikes Muslims. I thought we were discussing discrimination. Are you saying Muslims deserve the discrimination they experience for the above reason, or what?

When have you heard Jews, or Christians, or any other groups, except Muslims, (New Black Panthers, Al Qaeda, Sadarists, etc etc etc) come to the microphones and say anything like the Islamists say???????

Not sure why you're asking me this. Is your point that the Islamist's inflammatory rhetoric justifies discrimation against Muslims? I think it is better if you just express your views on stuff, I'm not the spokesperson for Islamists. I don't know any radical Islamists, I don't listen to their speeches, and and I don't know why you're asking me questions which compare them to Jews and Christians.

One comment I would make as far as Muslims saying anything "as a group" is that it is impossible. They don't have a central spokesgroup, and they tend to hate each other too much to speak in unison, so waiting for a group worldwide declaration from Muslims on anything is going to produce not much more than a long wait. I don't know that the world's Muslims have ever spoken together to the world in one voice about anything, at all.

So, who do you think experiences more discrimination in the USA today, Jews or Muslims?
