Thread Name: BS: Muslim prejudice
Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
No-one yet (as far as I have seen) has moved from "Oh, they were Muslims so there must be something wrong with Islam" to actually examining whether there is any reason for Islam to have caused or contributed to the causes of the crimes in question.
For that reason, it seems to me, the assertion I set out in quotes above, must be a matter of prejudice.
There is some tension in life experiences. We rightly criticise those who fail to learn from experience. But, in my lifetime, there is a group of people (not Muslims) with whom I have repeatedly had unhappy professional experiences. Should I expect a repetition of such experiences, or would that be prejudice?
