    Maybe, it’s not what I see every day

    How many Muslim extremists do you “see everyday”?

    Bonus question:

    Do you realize you likely see way more Muslims, they just aren’t wearing religious clothing?

      Oh that’s fun, you ignored all the rest.

      I didn’t say they were extremists, I said they held some fundamental beliefs. The ones I see that are modern american Muslims, maybe once a week, it’s gone down since college for sure.

      Bonus answer: no way, people don’t all wear religious clothing? Where did you get the impression I said I knew someone was Muslim by eyesight? I see a few Sikhs, sure, but most Muslim men, where I am, don’t where traditional clothing, maybe some handmade shirts from their trips back home but they’re still collared shirts and buttons ups in a western style. I have met maybe two women who are Muslim that don’t wear some kind of religious attire, be that a headwrap or a niqab. They also drank beer and were fond of the occasional midnight bacon burger, so they were far from being very devout.

      Got more?

        I said they held some fundamental beliefs

        And the most polite way to describe that would be you’re making assumptions…

        Considering the context though, most would describe it as religious bigotry
