Can you identify who the quotes are from and what threads they are from so we can understand the context? And decide for ourselves concerning the credentials of the speaker.

Being here for 5 years does not give him a free pass, you have heard of Quisling, haven't you?

As for the alleged Bigotry towards Muslims, you need to step back and look at the context of those comments as well, some are real, many are facetious.

Maybe if you and others tried to understand that the roots of the alleged Bigotry come from the hearts of MANY people who have been adversely affected by the actions of the Islamofascists, and that they have a right to be angry at all Muslims, but it is all talk, they are not going to act on it.

It is free speech, protected speech as long as they are not hurting anyone physically by it. If it is hurting some feelings, don't read it, move to another thread, stay quiet. If you choose to speak out, prepare to be challenged, because there are a lot of Americans who equate defending Islam, with defending Nazis.

Right or wrong, it's how they feel, and it's their right to feel this way, check the 1st amendment.

Since Islamofascists are not ALL muslims, as you have rightly identified, I believe you've given the definition of bigotry.

As for free speech, I suppose your friends have informed you, that FR has posting rules and it is not a democracy.
If not, please go to the home page and check out the rules.
