Muslim is a religion. Arabic is an ethnicity. Arabs are Caucasians, so Arabic men and women aren't even technically from another race.
[QUOTE=Carbo;32074856]You know, if this thread was about Christians you guys would be raging and bashing religion.
But on topic, no shit.[/QUOTE]
As a Christian myself, I don't see how it could be :v:. Christianity is considered the epitome of Anglo-Americanism, save for certain denominations (Orthodoxy, Catholicism depending on your era in US history).
Most prejudice against Muslims is because many Americans really can't cope with someone with a different culture trying to live in America. It's an age-old, deeply-rooted belief, and most of the time it's just because of what our unconscious has learned throughout the years is "good." Just search up "Implicit Association Test racism" on Google, and you'll see why. When some of us consciously decide that non-White and non-American culture is OK, then we start to make social change. Unconsciously, though, Western culture even makes Black people unconsciously racist towards [i]themselves[/i]: like the doll tests of the 1960s.

FP is really bad with religion sometimes, to the point where prejudice starts to arise.
All the cocksure Facepunch atheists should be thankful that they don't need religiousness in their lives.
Implying that they are healthy and well and not hopeless/sick/sitting in prison/an addict looking to recover. Or something like that.

Technically, Arabs are Semites (as well as related groups such as Middle Eastern Jews ("pure" Ashkenazim), Berbers, Levantine descendants of Phoenicians, etc). Some consider this a sub-group of Caucasians, some don't.
Everyone from Iran to India (Persians, Pashtuns, Kashmiris, Indians, Tamils, Sinhalese, etc.) are Caucasian though, but again the eastern-most of these are sometimes disputed.
Not that any of this matters at all.
this is bullshit, lets see how they say that when one of their 'normal' muslims walks into their children's school with a bomb

My daddy is in the army and he says muslims are sons of the devil!
really newsworthy thank you Op
There should be a study on how many ignorant-as-shit Americans actually thought the contrary.
That even 5% have a favorable view of Al Qaeda is troublling.
Now to convince Facepunchers that it's the same thing with the Christian population.
