Do you think political correctness is a new cover for blasphemy?

With the muslim issue, there has to be some pushback out of practicality.  The population needs some protections due to the wars, and terrorism, etc...  It's not just "Nativity scenes are dumb."  It's more like "Let's beat the shit out of some towel heads."  Obviously, there PR team is going to try and cry bigotry at everything, as that's a super-duper PR move.  But the more general telling people to cool their jets a bit in regards to Muslim Americans seems like it probably has to be a thing.

Yeah, because the "let's beat the shit out of some towel-heads" mentality has worked so well for us so far.  9/11 got a large chunk of the population thinking exactly that, and it has led to a foreign policy disaster the likes of which we haven't seen since the Vietnam War.  In fact, we now have ISIS in part thanks to our actions and the "get the towel-heads" mentality.  

So, yeah, why you'd still cling to such a stupid idea is beyond me.  I'm not saying we have to be silent, but terrorism, its causes and its ability to recruit are all deeply tied in the surrounding culture and population.  Dehumanizing the people as a whole with a "get me sum towel-head" approach is not only playing right into the extremists' hands and going to make the situation worse, it has led thousands upon thousands of civilian deaths.
