[quote=Anonymous]It's funny what happens when the shoe is on the other foot.

The Trump supporters at the rally were making sweeping generalizations about all Muslims and applying these generalizations to that couple. As are some of the folks on the Cologne thread.

But some of you get upset when we conclude that most Trump supporters are loud-mouthed bigots. Some of you even want to identify the problem, not as bigotry, but as our own inability to understand frustration in other parts of America.

Another point: you Trump supporters also make sweeping generalization about "libruls" and being "PC". No doubt you'd call me liberal on everything from taxes to gun control, and you'd call me PC on things like feminism and the Baltimore riots. But I'm also concerned about the veil and have actually posted many times here against the veil, the veil's influence on *some* Muslim men, and how head-covering isn't even required by the Quran but is often used for political/symbolic reasons.

See how that works? People are nuanced and can't be described by sweeping generalizations. [/quote]
