the fear is definitely rational. lots of people are dying and western society as a whole would appear to be a target. prejudice, however, is never rational, and that's what people have to be careful about, because it's really easy to become prejudiced when you're afraid

It is rational to be afraid of terrorists. It is not rational to fear an entire people because of the actions of its extremists.

Nah see I said seems because that isn't a fact I looked up. I'm assuming, and have no shame in admitting that.

"Anyway who cares if Muslims get oppressed. I'm not a Muslim so I say oppress them for my own security."

I don't believe that, but try and find a way to beat that argument without just saying it's selfish or using that Martin Niemöller poem.
