Americans in general do treat muslims in general like shit. it is a very unfortunate situation, IMO, since there are just as many whacko fundamentalists that are christian as there are muslims whacko fundies. But most of the violent acts that these christian fundies perform get buried in the news with little to no national coverage in most circumstances.
I live in an area that is home to the largest population of Arabs outside the Middle-East. And guess what? No one fucking cares! They are all treated respectively and they contribute a large amount to the economy of America and its cultural melting pot. And I never met anyone except for maybe a few rednecks that didn't consider them to be patriotic or "real" Americans. They have contributed greatly to America.
Also in the Nashville area is the largest group of Kurdish outside the Middle-East. Guess what? Entirely integrated and great contributors to American culture and economy. And again, some of the hardest working people in this country.
Should I continue with Indian and Pakistani Muslims? Turkish? Indonesians? Or any other Muslim group for that matter?
Your attitude is entirely ignorant of how Americans feel about Muslims. We are not the ones banning minarets and head scarves. The vast majority of Americans don't particularly care how people worship. Which brings me to your second wrong generalization about American Christians. Most American Christians are not fundamentalists at all and you rinsistence that they are shows how ignorant you are about American religion.
Get a clue!
