but the Jews are not seen as ones who are planning to blow you up...
and the Muslims are, aren't they??
Even if the extremists are few in number, there have been such a cross-section of them caught trying to blow up people, or actually doing so, that there is little or no trust.
Now, in the west, there are young muslims and converts planning this all the time.
One thing, and I have mentioned this before, is that the 'nice' Muslims dont seem to try to knock these guys down,,,no marches, no speeches on the street corners,,,just an official rebuttal now and again,,,,
People have the opinion that there is no push-back because the violence embedded in the religion will go after the moderate,,look at Simon Rushdie for example,,,,
You will recall that the current Pope stated a couple of years ago that Islam was a violent religion, and then somewhere in Africa muslims took offence to it and killed a Catholic nun or 2 to show their discontent...
That didn't help any moderate perception...
I guess there is sno easy answer but Muslims are certainly not providing any answers itseems to me,,,and I wish they would,,,
