As to the newspaper article, their job is selling papers, and they use multiple sources to fill the pages. Nothing wrong with the paper. We do have to realize that in other places in the world you would not see Christmas posted in their paper. Be glad we only have to read it. Everyone is also allowed their opinion, and those who post they are so welcoming should think that others truly are fearful and you should respect them. Don't throw rocks in glass houses as their may be something in your closet that others may not agree with.
Back to the Muslim religion. They are the terrorists for most part (yes, there is a rare bird who snapped). Muslims changed the world (airports, police with assault weapons, watching for bags without owners). Until it happens once, I cannot recall an 80 year old grandmother terrorist suicide bomber however that 80 year old grandmother has to take off her shoes at the airport and even be patted down to be politically correct. makes no sense at all. I believe every terrorist had a family and their family knew/knows something wasn't right. And not reporting it is as bad as actually doing it. They should be responsible also, and sadly, they may be good practicing Muslims.
How do you fix it? Probably can't but can weaken them. Its now a fact of life. Muslim isn't a nationality, its a choice, and so are radical Muslims. US and UN just needs to drone and kill the bad guys; and then soon the leaders of ISIS will not be as smart as the dead ones. Then it will be easier to catch the mistakes. Its all that can be done.
To conclude: The newspaper article wasn't bad, but it pushed buttons of those with fears and who thought is was disrespectful and it was expressed.
To each their own; I'm on the side of drones and going after their families (and they happen to all be Muslim, know matter the group of Muslim they are) and on the side of not patting down 80 year old grandmothers at the airport. Sorry if you don't like it.

I 100% understand that people are afraid. And it's unfortunate. IMO their fears have grown for the wrong reasons including religious discrimination and racism.
No, I would not want to move into Fuller park. And not because of the color of the skin or religion of the people that live there. But because of the crime rate. I have the ability to separate the two.
