You are correct: i stand guilty of generalizing not unlike those i was criticizing. That should be changed to a "vocal minority in the US"... sadly this minority often drives the debate and talking points...
fundamentalism or fanaticism of any kind, is never a good thing. It eliminates any kind of empathy or debate and reduces things to an us versus them mentaility...
parading outside of mosque with assault rifles or talk of eliminating all immigration based on religion can lead only lead to us in the wrong direction...Clearly a segment of Islam has already done this and the results of that are pretty devastating.
