As a Politically Correct storm trooper, you should be aware of that you are practicing group hate by type casting the individuals in those group, and assuming that they are all the same. How do you know that some of their members didn't join just in order to get a group discount at Motel 6, or that they just prefer the low maintenance hair styles. I think you should be more open minded, because (as someone said) prejudice and bigotry have no place on this board, or in this country. Joe, I am saddened by your words. This isn't about "political correctness." This is about fighting ignorance and protecting basic human rights. How many mosques in the U.S. have been threatened or harassed since last week... most likely ALL of them. How many Americans have been abused and/or assaulted because of the racial or religious heritage in the last week? Too damn many. Hell, one idiot has already killed a Siehk because he LOOKED Islamic (the reality is the Siehks have a completely different religion). I want to fight that kind of ignorance. You apparently wish to wallow in it. Ignorance and racial bigotry are NOT representative of the America I want to defend... if you don't share that view... I pity you. Why? We decry the Palestinian extremists who rejoice at America’s pain, yet return their bigotry with the same lowering ourselves to their level. Right now America has the right to hunt down the terrorists with a solid moral imperative. If we salve our damaged egos with bigotry, then we lose that moral high-ground and become a flock of murderous thugs ourselves. Again, that’s NOT the America I want to see defended… Is it what you want???
