This fear of Muslims confounds me a bit.
Extremist of ANY religion is scary, and we ignore what MIGHT be occurring now. I say MIGHT because I do not judge like some on here who post.
We just elected a President who has the undying, and enthusiastic support of ever right wing extremist group in the country AND abroad. I mean these hate groups are energized.
We fear Muslim extremist and we should.
But, I recalled an article I read a few months ago, and offer it just for consideration because HATE is hate from what're eversude they come from. We are talking about Christian hate groups...who HAVE KILLED MORE PEOPLE IN THE USA THAN JIAHDISTS.

Clearly, these were not the typical “Islamic terrorists” described in the boogeyman stories of American politicians who exploit fear for votes. Glendon Crawford, the industrial mechanic who conceived the plan, has all the panache of a Macy’s shoe salesman; Eric Feight, a software engineer who helped build the device, looks like a less impish version of Kurt Vonnegut. But their harmless appearance belies their beliefs—Crawford was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and the plot he hatched with Feight involved killing scores of Muslims, as well as officials at the governor’s mansion in Albany, New York and at the White House.
They and untold thousands like them are the extremists who hide among us, the right-wing militants who, since 2002, have killed more people in the United States than jihadis have. In that time, according to New America, a Washington think tank, Islamists launched nine attacks that murdered 45, while the right-wing extremists struck 18 times, leaving 48 dead. These Americans thrive on hate and conspiracy theories, many fed to them by politicians and commentators who blithely blather about government concentration camps and impending martial law and plans to seize guns and other dystopian gibberish, apparently unaware there are people listening who don’t know it’s all lies. These extremists turn to violence—against minorities, non-Christians, abortion providers, government officials—in what they believe is a fight to save America. And that potential for violence is escalating every day.
Right-Wing Extremists Are a Bigger Threat to America Than ISIS
