My point is this: it is intellectually dishonest to play the race card whenever you feel that muslims are getting a bad rap. There is a legitimate reason for all the scrutiny in my opinion. Is it fair for any majority to be characterized by the minority? No. Is it logical for certain ethnicities to be singled out under the circumstances? Yes. Is such activity at odds with an official declaration of universal respect for human rights and dignity? Possibly, but I certainly wouldn't characterize it as the actions of racists.
I mean, seriously...who has the PR problem here? More and more countries around the world are having to address the issues of their own radical muslim constituencies. Every day, from every corner of the world, you read about muslim this, muslim that, muslimmuslimmuslim. What country outside of the Middle East isn't having to deal with these issues? And why are those who are earnestly - peacefully - trying to address these issues branded as racists?
