It's not a perfect example, I'll admit. I'll have to think about some other way to put it.
Rest assured though that my opposition to the location of the mosque doesn't come from or cause me to want to cause harm to the average Muslim. Far from it.
I am glad you say that. And maybe I indeed overreact. But the problem is, I have encountered so much stereotyping xenophobia against Muslims so far, that I have a hard time believing that not many of these 68% have a general hate problem. Not saying you aren't an exception, but the general situation is pretty bad. It seems to be en vogue these days to single out scapegoats and to stereotype foreigners once again. And that worries me.
So thanks for your calm contribution. I appreciate it.
