I am going to make a prediction about Muslim Americans.
For many years I have watched the Christian Right mutter about the trend in U.S. prisons for PoC and some others to turn to Islam while incarcerated. I have ALWAYS thought that eventually this would be used to incite fear and loathing.
How long until this sentiment on the right breaks out into open fearmongering and scapegoating? Soon, I suspect.
Since you've brought it up let's talk about fear mongering and scapegoating.
Who screams "war on women" while supporting a group who treats women as second class citizens?
Who screams "homophobia" while trying shut down any thing Christian related?
Who screams "the gun did it" every time another democrat kills someone?
Who screams "Bush's fault" at...well...any thing negative?
