I will admit that the increasing violent actions of Muslims are troubling to me but I also know that the politicians here who are making a big deal are not completely honest about their feelings. It is after all election season and picking on Muslims is always a good bet for US Politicians. The elections will come and go. The Muslim 'concern' will go away for another year or two but definitely come back by the time the next general election comes back. So I am not losing sleep over the Muslim situation either.
So continue not to lose sleep. Continue to have the GOP scream that Muslims are evil.
Watch as Democrats make some little PC squeaks in response, but don't do too much, out of fear that the polls show that Americans are quaking because they are bombarded daily by the media that terrorism is the biggest issue.
Isn't my problem, so really don't care. I have no reason to lose sleep. But as the populace becomes increasingly loathe to be fair to ordinary Muslims I am not the one who will have to deal with the consequences of this.
The USA is always in an election season. After 2016 it will be the 2018 mid terms.
Me losing sleep doesn't change anything so why should I? Some Muslims will continue to be violent and some people bigoted against Muslims will continue to be bigoted against Muslims regardless.
