On Islam

Muslims are not filth. They are not terrorists. They are not murderers. They are people. I am trying to fathom how I have any ties with people who would view any other human the way that some people I know view Muslims. Most priests are not child molesters. Most men are not pedophiles. Most Muslims do not hurt people. Not all Christians are closed-minded and hateful. What's that whole thing about innocent until proven guilty?

I realize that some Muslims are radical, but some "Christians" force sexual acts on children. Do they define all Christians?

This makes me sick. This literally makes me shake with anger. How could you ever hate someone so much? You don't know them. There are non-practicing Muslims, just as there are "Christmas and Easter" Christians. You wouldn't know they are Muslim. The assumption that all Muslims wear a hijab is ignorant. The assumption that everyone wearing something interesting on their head is going to destroy America is disgusting.

People can believe different things. That's what religious freedom is. I don't agree with what Muslims believe. That's why I'm not a Muslim. But I don't think they're lesser people. I think they have as much value as I do.
Islam has been around for a very long time. It's not a sudden threat. It's just a different religion.
If you want others to accept your Christianity and not discriminate, and you hate Muslims without knowing them, you are missing the point.
Identifying as a member of a religion doesn't mean you agree with everything that anyone who has ever associated with that religion does. Not all mormons have seven wives.

I realize I may literally lose friends over this sentiment. I welcome that. I want no association with someone who blindly hates others. Defriend me. Please.
