dlish, thank you for your thoughtful response. I am coming from the perspective of someone who assumes that we all can get along, however I'm not naive enough to not ask questions. People who want to inflame fear will present these concepts without context to people much less willing to listen than myself.
One thing that strikes me as very different is that there seem to be very few "semi-practicing" Muslims. There are folks who identify themselves as Christian yet only go to church Christmas and Easter. There are people who only identify with Judaism as a social identification rather than a spiritual one. It seems to me though like there are very very few "semi-practicing" Muslims....you are either all in or all out. No one would go to prayers during Ramadan and then kick back with a beer on the weekend. Are there semi practicing Muslims?
