A Christian man wipes out over half of the world's Jewish population, claiming to be doing it in the name of God. No biggie. A Muslim twists his religion to convince people to crash two planes into the World Trade Center, claiming to be doing it in the name of God. Islam and it's followers are suddenly synonyms with pure evil in the eyes of most Americans. LOGIC!

I like your example with SOPA and PIPA. I agree that it's terrible when people twist and use religion to justify their own ambitions (like with Hitler and Bin Laden). It often gives those who truly do believe in them a bad name. Especially if the religion in question happens to be a minority.

Trust me, I have no issues with any religion. It's the nutcases that I have issues with. The ones that go against what the teachings of their religion say and treat other religions like crap. Not all muslisms are terrorists(Something that irks my best friend in real life) in the same way that not all republicans are red necks. It's just that the minorities get projected as the majority.

^Agreed. It seems that modern media, especially in America, loves to show off the very worst a society has to offer. they show the worse of the worse, and skip over the best of the best. I'm from Eastern Kentucky. I've had to deal with a lot of stereotypes involving where I come from. Very few of them are true for the majority of people here.
