A Rebuttal

When I finished reading the first paragraph, I huffed a great sigh.

You see you should at least get some basic knowledge before you start hating someone/something. A basic knowledge you obviously lack, specifically towards Muslims.

Firstly, what gave you the faintest idea Muslims are war-mongering idiots and Islam is trying to screw the world over with wars? Am I correct in guessing that you summed all that up by 9/11, propaganda and maybe even CNN, or am I presuming too much effort on your end? "To each there own", you must have forgotten that saying because you seem very racist at the moment. If I were to think at your standard; I'd be calling Russia, The Mafia and while you seem to be so proud to be an American, which I bet you are, you don't seem to realise any action your country is doing globally. If you did, you wouldn't be so proud to be an American.

"Oh, Muslims are crazy, they all should die." isn't really what a proud American would say if they realised, that they stopped racial cleansing of Muslims in Bosnia and that you have the good ol mentally insane Arabs to thank for the number zero because superior-in-ever-way Europeans did not have a number equivalent to zero.

Basically, you're calling Muslims filth for having their own beliefs. You're saying that Muslims in America get every wish they have granted while they are in you great, nosy and arrogant country; have you ever thought, yes even thought, that those Muslims being insulted by you are also insulted daily by people similar to you? Bigots like you go around hating religions and think you are superior in every way because you are an American. You are the people that start wars, you are the same people that started the Nazi genocide of the Jews and today, you are the people spreading hate and welcoming Muslim Genocide.

If what you're saying is that Christianity is a religion of love, you aren't a very good Christian. But I won't say that Christianity is a religion of hate because I'm not like you, I know, at least faintly, of what I'm talking about and I know not to stereotype people. But then again, I "ain't" American am I?
