The only reason it's a news topic is a political distraction.
The media has vilified Islam since 9/11. When it comes to the Qu'ran people misinterpret what they don't understand.
Timothy McVeigh was a Christian. He blew up the federal building in Oklahoma, are people not allowed to build churches near federal property?
Fear makes people do reckless things. Personally if I was a Muslim involved in this whole ordeal I'd try to make a point to be more open with the public in having a debate and offering some insight and information on Islam. If people continue to be ignorant after an education, than that's on them.
A lot of the older southern population believe in all sorts of crazy shit when it comes to Islam. As well as still extremely prejudice (race is still a big issue in this country.) Islam is a faith to more than a BILLION people on the face of the earth, to say that amount of people have the only one objective and it's to kill infidels, you're a fucking retard. Not to mention the enormous amount of WHITE Muslims.
People need to do more reading and less believing what ANY media outlet tells them.
