Now a bigot is "a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion" [1]. Is he being utterly intolerant of Muslims? No. In fact, he's being quite the opposite, saying that Americans should *get over* any nervous feelings they might have about Muslims on planes.

Most people don't get that far in their line of thought, sugar.
