is it really unreasonable for the American public,
especially Christians and Jews, to be fearful of Muslims?

Not only is it unreasonable to be afraid of Muslims simply because they are Muslims, but it is psychotic and possibly psychopathic.

Muslims seem to be afraid of Americans. Is THAT unreasonable?

Most if not all of the third world- be they Muslim, Christian, Budist,
Scientologist or athiest are afraid of the U.S. (NOT of 'Americans') and in the light of the sorry way they have been treated BY the U.S., historically and especially in the last couple of decades, their fear is entirely justified. If they are familiar with the so-called "Project For A New American Century" it would be unreasonable if they were NOT afraid.

I don't think you have mentioned your military experience before.

Your absolutely right for once, Dougie, I haven't discussed it. Neither will I now. Why? First, its none of your fuckin' business! Second, it would'nt make any substantive difference to the points under discusion.

Troll, place any bets you like- its still a semi-free country, until Ashcroft, Poindexter & the boys complete their agenda. However, I am in no way, shape, or form- nor have I ever been- against "THE government"- whatever you intend that to mean. I'm against The BuShite Junta's version of government. And there are plenty of folks in the same boat who are considerably more "vituperative" than I.
