Actually, I’m an American who believes in religious freedom, a founding tenant of our country. I’ve known Muslims throughout my life. Many profess that the USA is the one place where they can truly realize their faith, live fully as Muslims, build their communities, and do so in peace and cooperation with communities of other faiths. ‘Murica.

Ignorance is the soil, fear the seed, prejudice the vine, hatred the flower, and violence the fruit. Ignorance is innocent unless it is voluntary. No one is immune to this, and no one is excused.
