Hating all Muslims for the acts of a few extremists would be like hating all Christians because a select group commit violence on abortion clinics, or another group bombs Catholic school girls in Belfast. Taken a step further, that kind of hatred would be not unlike hating all southern white males because of Tim McVeigh's terrorist attack in Oklahoma City.

I pray that cooler heads will prevail and that this mass hysteria towards Muslims in America will be brought swiftly to an end. From what we know so far, all of our enemies in this attack were Arabs, but this does not mean that all Arabs are our enemies. I hope the good-ol'-boy mentality (which is easy to find in my city, despite it's diverse population and technical industries) manages to keep its voice as low as the IQ's of the people who think that way.
