Well, then they’d be wrong. Most Muslims support Islam (vehemently) but they don’t support extremists-what they refuse to admit is that the extremists are following their religion more closely than they are. It’s cognitive dissonance. They support Islam-but not all the way...https://twitter.com/m_phatical/status/976138272907739136 …

The fact of the matter is, very few people are able to look themselves in the mirror and be objective about their own behavior and scrutinise their own beliefs, conformation bias all the way.

I agree. The problem is ppl who think of Muslims as somehow different and inherently evil. They’re not. They’re just ppl, and their actions and reactions are no different from any other ppl indoctrinated w an ideology.

Patronising nonsense. Of course everyone knows that ideology is the problem. The Hitler Youth were brainwashed - it wasn’t a random genetic quirk that afflicted a generation of Germans. It’s warped ideology compounded by cultural non assimilation that people are worried about.

Seems we are in agreement, and that’s a good example —I’m not sure what ‘patronizing nonsense’ you’re referring to...are you not aware that there are ppl that think Muslims are inherently evil? That it’s in their DNA? That they’re simply uncivilized degenerates?
