The Power of Belief

[ideologue08]

So I still maintain that all this Islamophobia is not helping one bit. Is there a threat? Yeah, there is. We also have our own home-grown threats. You are always going to have violent nutjobs of one kind or another. But I do not want to see any group get unfairly declared to be under suspicion just because they pray in a mosque instead of a Christian church. I don't think that you do either.

The city I live in has a fair number of Muslims living in it and that bothers me not at all. Some of my neighbors in my building are. No problem. I'm supposed to be suspicious of them because of their faith? I think not. I have no use for their religion, but that is because I regard all religion as a crock. It's poisonous and we need to get over our need for imaginary deities.

You are talking to someone whose country (the US) has committed more violence than any other nation on the planet in the last century, and he has the audacity to blame desert dwellers for the ills of the world. Sweden is a very progressive, forward-thinking country just like the UK, the people of Sweden are not hillbillies. There's a lot that Americans can learn from us Europeans.
