The TV show "All American Muslim", will not be back. To much controversy, to many issues with advertisers, etc. I watched the show, and when I heard this I heard myself saying out loud, "What the heck?" Those saying, "good, they're evil, remember 9/11", blah blah blah, have you ever watched the show? I did, and found it quite interesting. I bet you anything if this show was "All American Catholic", or "All American Baptist", or "All American _________", (fill in blank) it would have been renewed without any question.
The problem, as I see it, is that many, many people lump a group of fanatic's and nut jobs in with an entire religion. Not a good thing. Do you realize the loon's out there doing things in the name of Christianity? Abortion clinics bombed, in the name of Christianity. Look at history. Groups of people wiped out, all in the name of Christ.
I had a conversation today with a person that took offense when I called them a "Pat Robinson Clone." They made statements such as, "All Muslim's want to kill all the Jews and anyone that isn't a Muslim." - can you hear Pat Robinson saying that? Another comment was, "they are all raised to hate all non Muslim's, they're taught that in their meetings, and from the time they were born." This is one of my favorite comments, actually made me laugh, "They all have it in them to kill, they just wait for the signal and there they go." Can you believe this??? This person really believes what they were saying to me. These comments were about ALL Muslims.
To me, this thinking is insane. I understand there are Imam's (a Muslim preacher) that go into the prisons to convert inmates to promote hate. I also understand there are Muslims that hate just to hate. I don't believe anyone and everyone that belongs to the Muslim religion is like this. Do this to any other group of people and it's considered racist and hateful. The really bad thing about all this is it's not just a small group of Muslim haters saying this stuff. I hear this garbage from so many people that call themselves Christians. These are the same people that feel because a homosexual pedophile was on the news, this makes all homosexual's pedophiles. How do we stop the hate? How do we get out the correct information?
I'm sorry this show is off the air. It allowed those of us who are not of the Muslim religion a glimpse of what it's about, and who the people are that have these beliefs, and how they live day to day in America, the "land of the free and the home of the brave" - unless you're a Muslim.
