The bolded sections seem absolutely nuts to me, regardless of where you live. Don’t you deliver pizzas in the ghetto? Do you live somewhere completely removed from that area? Because I know you could meet some non-religious folks in the ghetto. 😉 ---

> [@Monty](#): > > What do you have to say about the recent burning of mosques in the US? I’d say it’s completely insignificant vs. the burning of Christian churches in the ME. How many mosques have been burned in retaliation for Charlie Hedbo? The satirize Christians. Therefore, mosques should burn. How many have? Does anyone burn mosques in retaliation for non-muslims satirizing God? 300 Muslims attack Christian boys’ school: [300 Armed Muslims Attack Christian Boys' School in Pakistan in Retaliation to Charlie Hebdo's Prophet Muhammad Drawings | World](http://www.christianpost.com/news/300-armed-muslims-attack-christian-boys-school-in-pakistan-in-retaliation-to-charlie-hebdos-prophet-muhammad-drawings-133338/) 3 Muslims killed by lone gunman whackjob with nothing to do with Christians: burn more churches! What do you have to say about that? ---

Some US mosques have been burnt down. Mostly though, it’s vandalism or attacks via bogus zoning measures and the like. Here’s a list of incidents: > **[The American Muslim (TAM)](http://theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/mosques_in_us_that_have_experienced_violent_or_racist_incidents1/0012120)** > > The original, The American Muslim was founded in 1989. The site actively published 25 years of content. Like the magazine, > the online publication strove to to support and recognize American Muslims, to provide information about Islam in America,...

Although these sentiments manifest themselves in many ways, attacks on mosques directly take aim at religious freedom. ---

Following the shooting, an education and community center was torched in Texas last Friday. A Muslim education and community center that is. Evidence indicates a fire accelerant was used, but the FBI isn’t drawing firm conclusions without a full investigation. That said, Muslim centers in Texas have suffered from arson in the past. [http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/02/14/3623274/houston-islamic-center-fire/](http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/02/14/3623274/houston-islamic-center-fire/) Mustafaa Carroll, executive director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) Houston chapter: [INDENT] “We’re living in a time where this happens and this is not new for us,” Carroll explained. “Any time people make blanket statements about Muslims and equate all of us with the actions of a few, it gives tacit approval to [some] people in our society to mistreat Muslims. It’s sort of justification when you hear all the negative press … ultimately those comments are going to manifest itself in some type of negative behavior. The words always come first and we wish that people would watch their words and not be so quick to judge.” [/INDENT] I concur.
