Is awfulizing the entire Muslim religion responsible for the increase in domestic terrorism in America?

No, I don't think that is the reason or that it is responsible for terrorism in America. No one can deny the anti-Muslim sentiment in America. But what would help is if more in the Muslim communities would denounce the action of and by the extremist. They say they are with America and the people but never have harsh criticism against Islamic extremist. Remember that these jihadist have always been around. The First Barbary War (1801–1805) also known as the Tripolitan War or the Barbary Coast War, was the first of two wars fought between the United States and the Northwest African Berber Muslim states known collectively as the Barbary States. Because of social media and the internet ISIS has more reach to sympathizers of their cause. Which of course is the elimination and destruction of Infidels. And the West is a target rich environment.

There is a difference between muslims and radical muslims. Should mosques be over watched? - yes if hate and discontent is preached there, which did happen in Florida. It's a lot like Germany in Hitler's time. Not every one was a Nazi, but there were too many who stood back and let it happen. They want to import their own law - no way we got our own. They want to pray in our schools and such - no way, we Christians aren't allowed. No their not all the same, but the non radicals need to step forward and take more of a stand against. And we need to get over the politically correct BS and start calling a spade a spade - beginning with Obama. He needs to admit there are radical muslims terrorists and they are a threat.

So does that mean because I get offended by certain politicians I can kill them or their supporters and I am innocent because, well they alienated and offended me? I think my Bull S____ card trumps their Horse S___ card!

Anti-Muslim culture in America? You sure you don't want to rethink that statement?

To be succinct; I don't believe Islam is being "awfulized" more than any other group (and gross generalizations don't help any problem), and even if the first were true, I don't believe terrorists need any moral justification to commit acts of terror.

If the point you are trying to make is that the US shouldn't fall into anti-Islam paranoia, good point.

If the point you are trying to make is that we (the US) are somehow collectively responsible for the mass shooting in Orlando, you are 100% wrong.

Personally, I just don't perceive that their is a anti-Muslim "culture" in America. At least, no more than there is an anti-Jewish culture, an anti-Lutheran culture, an anti-Catholic, or even an anti-Wiccan culture. To be blunt, I just don't believe that a sizeable portion of the US population has a problem with anyone else's religion (period). However, I do have a grudge to pick with the actions of some folks from the Westboro Baptist Church (note: I don't have a problem with everyone who attends the church, just those who protest military funerals)!

Because of my disbelief with the basic premise of your question, I decided to look up "anti-muslim culture"on the internet. What I found were a lot of articles that reference a Gallup poll which said that "52% of Americans and 48% of Canadians say the West does not respect Muslim societies." Now I completely agree with that. I don't respect any society or nation that says that my wife cannot vote, or that my wife cannot own a car, or that she cannot wear clothing that shows her calves, or claims that any portion of humanity is somehow less worthy than the rest. This is much more a comment on the politics of predominantly muslim nations than it is on the religion of Islam. It also means I disagreed with Nazi Germany, India's handling of the untouchables, and even England's belief in Royalty. I should note that Americans fought wars over two of these and are still working to overcome the prejudices of the third.

Awfulizing

Well, I heard on CNN today that recent extremist terrorist attacks (going back to MAJ Hasan) had a pattern. I thought, okay, they're actually going to state the truth here. Nope. The pattern was that authorities knew of these nuts before they did what they did, NOT that they were ALL Muslims. What the heck does it take? This is political correctness run absolutely amok. And the fact that the President won't even utter the words contributes to the problem.

I'm obviously not saying that ALL Muslims are extremists, but extremist Muslims ARE extremist Muslims, not chipmunks, for crying out loud!

I see what you are saying, however i do not believe we are "awefulizing" the muslim religion. People are scared and are hyper cautious, and rightfully so. Are their people who simply hate all muslims? Of coarse. But i dont believe thats the norm. The best thing would be for radical muslims to stop breaking the freaking law and killing people!!!

I have not seen crowds in the streets demonizing muslims however the Day they stop trying to impose their ideology and their way of life here then I am sure they Will BE more accepted. Also when them begin denouncing the murderers in their jihad Movement, them will BE more accepted, the day their mosques become houses of prayer instead of hatred factories then they will BE accepted. BY the way this goes for any ethnic group who comes to the United States and tries to recreate all the worse they allegedly are trying to get away from, if so why come at All?
