REALLY.
Hmm, funny because both my father-in-law and my husband, ACTUAL Arabs (unlike Obama), were born to Muslim fathers IN the Middle East (nowhere near American soil), and both of them are atheists and have spent the majority of their lives in Lebanon (where there are plenty of Muslim scholars and religious experts who know more than any of us do about the subject, I'm quite sure), and their lives have never even remotely been in danger as a result of their atheism.
We also have two very good friends of Pakistani descent, born and bred in the West, with Muslim fathers... they're even Muslims themselves, though they don't take it very seriously, and they get drunk with us and are quite willing to joke about the crazy adherents of their religion. They live essentially secular lives. Do you think their lives have been threatened as a result? Surprise surprise, NO! Death sentence, my ass. How many Muslims do you actually know, Otto?
And, as others have already asked (and which I'd like for you to answer), why is this even discussion-worthy material?
