I've seen plenty of people make dumb comments in regards to people just wearing a turban on a plane because they associate all of them with the various terrorist groups that are out there, but don't feel the same way of Caucasians after a mass shooting.
At the end of the day from what I can figure they're mainly responding to racism.
I think you are probably right, which is of course another dishonest tactic that non-muslims use as a shield against criticism of Islam. It's pretty easy to criticize Islam and be called a racist, even though it has nothing to do with race. They might have the very best of intentions, but the most ignorant and dishonest of tactics.
I agree. It also doesn't help those who think Arab and Muslims are the same thing. You can be any race and still be a Muslim. The Boston Marathon Bomber for example definitely wasn't Arab.
On the flip-side, you can be an Arab and think Islam is stupid.
