#1 However, predicated upon the acts of a few, the official US government position will continue to treat whites as inherently racist and will continue to pursue 'remedies' that curtail basic civil and Constitutional rights.

#2 And I suppose not a single word about the anti-Christian and Jewish persecutions throughout the Islamic World. Not a word about the Coptic Christian of Egypt, or the Christians of Indonesia or Africa.

How much of that 'Anti-Muslim' Sentiment is simply resistance to Islamic conversions (aka: Convert, Pay a tax in humiliation, or die). I'm thinking a lot of it.

I'm really tired of our so-called leadersh*t simply bending over and spreading our butt-cheeks every time some Islamic Cleric claims persecution. They aren't persecuted. Protected, Coddled, yes. Persecuted - no.

#3 My anti-Muslim sentiment hasn't risen; hasn't much changed in 11 1/2 years.

#4 Muslims make out they are victims when most of the time they are the aggressors. Name me a religion they can live alongside?

#5 ..considering that Sunni and Shiite have a problem with mutual homicidal sports, probably only 'dead' religions.

#6 The people supposedly being hated on made their own bed, now they get to lie in it.

#7 The intolerant complaining of intolerance....only idiots find this confusing or unexpected. As for my personal prejudices, I'm ok with them, since they seem fact based on the content of the Koran and Hadiths.

#8 soaring violence against Islamic minorities including Shiites and Ahmadis in Pakistain

This would be violence by Muslims against Muslims. Seems a little disingenuous to call it anti-Muslim sentiment. Unless you are accusing Muslims of being intolerant.

#10 The report also voiced alarm at soaring violence against Islamic minorities including Shiites and Ahmadis in Pakistain...

The Ahmadis I actually feel bad for. They're annoying I grant you (I've met some) - and proselytize like Mormon Amway salesmen for their branch of Islam but their sect is genuinely non-violent.

The Shia OTOH have been *more* than happy to violently persecute others in Pakistan, given half a chance. So screw them.
