Let's all remember this the next time this douchebag denies being a racist.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

However, my new assertion, that I am a bisexual mulatto hermaphrodite from Yemen, gives my arguments a new legitimacy.

With that in mind, does my reply make sense?

I knew that's what you were responding to, but I still don't know what you meant exactly by stuff family cultures engender that can pit them against each other.

I *think* you were talking about prejudices? So I took a stab in the dark with the next couple of paragraphs. Basically I see values and prejudices as distinct from culture, in that culture usually just describes a set of tastes, beliefs, and a lifestyle. If not everyone in the culture has a trait or a belief, then that trait or belief is not a definitive part of the culture.

Oh, what the hell, it only takes a couple of minutes, the FBI keeps statistics:

Those are the most recent statistics available from the FBI, from 2008. That's, 82.8% against all other races, as opposed to 17.3 against Whites. Still wanna compare?

More recently, although there are no statistics:

The heated debate over Cordoba House, the Islamic community center planned to be constructed two blocks away from Ground Zero, has now turned violent.

While many have voiced concerns that the project's leaders may have ties to terrorism, and that the mosque may be used in order to further a violent, oppressive agenda of Islamist domination, the recent crime wave has in actuality been directed from those opposed to the community center toward Muslims themselves.

This week, vandals have committed a string of hate crimes against a mosque in Madera, just about an hour away from my hometown. A brick was thrown at a window, and menacing signs were left that said "No temple for the god of terrorism" and "Wake up America, the enemy is here."

Fresno Bee

While the people behind these attacks ("The American Nationalist Brotherhood") are undeniably extremists, whom most of the anti-Cordoba crowd would condemn, this is not the only recent incident of anti-Muslim violence, nor is it the scariest.

Earlier this week, a college student slashed the throat and face of a New York cab driver after asking if he was a Muslim. The victim survived.

NYT

Back in May, a pipe bomb was set off at a Florida mosque during morning prayer, where about 60 people were in attendance. Luckily, no one was hurt.

aolnews

If only one of these crimes had occurred, it may have been fair to label it an "isolated incident." But the sheer number and frequency of these acts shut that idea down immediately. This is indicative of a larger trend of anti-Muslim sentiment. A sentiment that has been fostered, I would argue, by the right wing.

While most opponents of Cordoba House argue that they are not against mosques or Muslims in general, much of the rhetoric from their side has made that claim ring hollow, as well. New mosques in Staten Island, California, and Tennessee have been protested by locals with the same intensity and rhetoric of the anti-Cordoba protesters. Newt Gingrich recently compared Muslims to Nazis, while Ted Nugent called Islam a "voodoo religion." Signs at the recent protest near the proposed site of the community center read "Islam Kills," "Islam Is The Enemy" and "Proud to be an Islamophobe."
