Because it exposes it for what it is. Something the human species can easily do without.
Go take your KKK, white supremacism to some other forum.
But it's so much fun to tell people they're bigotted fuckwits and see them fly of the handle, all "I've got black friends!" like.

You might want try something like evidence to back up your assertions. I realize that is difficult for you, but if you want to convince people to agree with your argument, evidence helps.

Re: Everyone's racist once in a while...it's Hollywood, man!

True but you didn't specify that in your original statement, just that you're cautious around them because their beliefs don't align with yours. Of course being cautious about all muslims because some muslims have radical ideas is holding the beliefs of those radicals against all muslims.
Are you saying we should let people murder others because they believe they are doing the right thing?
Of course not, but that wasnt what we were talking about.
It\'s not enough to bash in heads, you\'ve got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true

Are you saying we should let people murder others because they believe they are doing the right thing? Now replace with this:
There are all kinds of christians/mormons/baptists/hindus/budhists/agnostics/atheists/ aka HUMANS. Some of them are radical, and believe in harming anyone who doesn't think like them. When they act out those beliefs, yes I have a problem with it, and hold those beliefs against them because they are against the law. Are you saying we should let people murder others because they believe they are doing the right thing? In otherwords no human is immune from acting radically and irrationally, regardless of race, color, creed, nationality, ethnicity age, sex or religion. To say other wise is stereotyping i.e. racism/agism/sexism/etc and is itself irrational.

Beliefs are NOT against the Law, at least in the US unless you can point out where that happens to be true. Edited by jar, : hit key too soon.

If a "Christian" cult moved next door to me, I would be just as careful, and worried, because of past history. Being cautious is not being racist. Acting on those feelings is being racist.

Did you say "...yes I have a problem with it, and hold those beliefs against them because they are against the law. "? What beliefs are against the law?

How about you just explain it since those of this who read it, don't "get" what you mean. If people claim not to understand you it is incumbent on you to make it understandable.
