    However, as soon as the word "Islam" falls, people turn sour, the atmosphere drops with lightning speed and we treat it like it's some sort of highly contagious disease, at worst, and a necessary evil at best. Statements like "It's a mockery of the horrible events that happened at 9/11" or "But the terrorists murdered 3,000 people in the name of Islam". Statements like these reveal the way we treat Muslims nowadays. For some people, there is no difference between a crazed Wahabbi from the outskirts of the Rub' al-Khali, or a Sufi mystic from the fringes of the Himalaya, or an Iranian Shi'ite scholar whose parents fled to California when he was four. Likewise, they do not differentiate between the concept of "Islamism", a political ideology spewed forward by backwards lunatics in Afghanistan, Iran and Saudi-Arabia trying to push their political agenda's forward, and the concept of "Islam", a 6th century religion founded by an illiterate shepherd who had never even heard about "The United States" or "Great Britain".
    but hax, you're acting as if everyone who opposes the mosque is an islamaphobe. Every time you hear something like "mosque opposed", you turn sour, the atmosphere drops with lightening speed etc.
