I'm not paranoid, you are. I don't see muslims as threats, I see the vast majority of muslims as regular people going along their merry way. Terrorists kill directly but corporate fraud can most certainly destroy lives. If you no longer have a roof over your head, have lost your pension and can't afford medical care, you might certainly die as a result of corporate fraud. Actually, though, that isn't my point. My point is bigotry and the blaming of all people who share a certain characteristic for the actions of some who also share that characteristic. It's not only unfair, it's useless. After Oklahoma City, should all young white christian men be jailed just in case they were also planning violence? It's utter nonsense. The thing is to treat individual actions as criminal acts, not enrage and inflame the passions of a group who feel unfairly targeted for doing NOTHING. Of course if you don't wish to reduce the level of violence but wish to have a 'them agin us holy war' then you should go about doing what you're doing.
