MaximumBunny: This is silly. Get it right the first time if you care about what people will think later. :P
hedwards: Prior to 9/11 most people in the US didn't really notice Muslims, but after 9/11 there was a ton of bigotry that hasn't completely disappeared.
My main concern here is that there's a ton of data being captured by 3rd parties and put on the net without any consent and then being taken and sliced up to provide a view that nobody can really understand or anticipate. Things like Target knowing about pregnancies before the father in some cases.
That being said, I think it's a bit silly to have a right that's so fundamentally unenforceable.
Let me give an example that will offend everyone: Many of the people you commonly would tell islamic are great people, who can give you a nice talk and serve their purpose for society (many here have pizza imbisses, for some strange reason).
The big issue comes from a very small percentage of the people who say they are Islamic but break the Islamic laws. Take those pedophile Nigerian "Boko Haram" terrorists. I don't see anywhere in the Quran where it says "You shall go to school, abduct young girls and keep them as sex slaves." That has nothing to do with Islam. They will - by what I know about karma - be the ones to be abducted in a future life if they don't change!
And now they say: We are the Islam.
No, you are pedophile scumbags. You are not the Islam.
Take Ehud Olmert. He says he is jewish. I see nowhere in the Thora or Bible where it says "You shall be corrupt and go the path of money." You know what Jesus did? He went into the temple and told all the capitalists there essentially to go eff themselves. Jews are attributed as businessmen nowadays, but that has nothing to do with Judaism. Neither has Olmert.
You know why you never noticed Jews or Muslims in society? Because there was no racistic propaganda spread on media. There was the occasional report about terrorism in Israel, maybe in some Arabic countries as well, but there was no such Anti-Semitic and Anti-Islamic shit as today. The people were there all the time, but the propaganda machinery of the big news stations was not.
Now everyone says comparing X to Hitler is bad! No, it is not! It is the best thing you can do! If you're not allowed to compare X to Hitler you can not prevent it from happening again! Compare the media, at some point they subconsciously instilled the fear that every muslim is a terrorist who wants to die for Allah and kill you as well. Compare it to anti-semitic Third Reich propaganda!
Probably they did and they noticed, hey, this has happened before, let us stop instilling fear of strangers into people before they start a pogrom, let us start show some other stuff instead.
But the real problems were ignored, they still are. You don't become terrorist if you value something else higher. Either you are mentally ill to begin with, or you have otherwise no perspective in life. If politicians were not corrupt, then people wouldn't even wage wars. Goebbels(!) told us once that you can tell people they are attacked and show some propaganda and they will support a war, even if they otherwise wouldn't. And I think the christmas truce 1914 was the best example of it: People did not want to make war. Not on christmas. Not afterwards. If politicians would have listened to their people back then, many million would have been saved, Hitler never would have risen to power, there would not have been such a World War. And everything else is unpredictable since that war changed too much.
If we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it. But knowing history alone does not change anything if people don't really learn from history.
