A socially just society would not emphasize differences or perpetuate division. The goal would be to treat all people as human beings.

A worthy goal, but we're not there yet. And one of the reasons so many people don't see anything wrong with practicing the kind of prejudice and discrimination toward Muslims that we see all over the place in the Western part of the world today, including this thread, is because people don't perceive any social stigma attached to having such attitudes. People who wouldn't dream of holding such attitudes towards people of a different color or towards Jews, see absolutely nothing wrong with holding such attitudes towards Muslims. Until our society attaches a social stigma to such attitudes when displayed towards Muslims, the problem will continue to get worse rather than better. It appears to be the only way to fight these things.

It worked for the Civil Rights Movement in the US and in South Africa. It worked in helping to change attitudes towards Jews all over the world. It will work to help bring about a change in attitudes towards Muslims as well.
