It's Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel. With a Kalashnikov.

Panelists: Get to know your Muslim neighbors, learn about Islam

The word "Muslim" is like a bat-signal; within moments the racists are on the scene, locked and loaded.


“There are two sides to the issue. On the one, Muslims are not as open after 9/11,” said Ali Metwalli, founding board member of the Islamic Mosque and Religious Institute in Grand Rapids. “On the other side, there’s no attempt to know more about Islam, to really understand. The biggest barrier is the closed mind.”

Preemptively shutting down the possibility of interfaith dialogue is the only natural response to a panel discussion that encourages cultural engagement and mutual respect.


It's nice to see closetheborders branching out. He's hating all kinds of brown people now!
