Muslims are all hate mongering fruit cakes.

Nonsense! and you know (or should) better.

" Muslims are all hate mongering fruit cakes.
Nonsense! and you know (or should) better."

For as long as I remember someone has been telling me that all southern white (men) secretly hate black people, or that republicans secretly hate the poor, or some similar broad brushed slander.

Being a little bit of both, I know that this is not true.

However, while I think most muslims would rather just get on with their lives, it is in no way a stretch to believe that at a level quite near the surface all muslims, including those who are my friends and associates, hate that which is not muslim.

The difference is that islam is an all inclusive theology / ideology / social & political doctrine, and it promises perfection only in the absence of "others". It is self fulfilling because muslim states provide nothing for the common man but a religion based promise of future perfection if that common man follows their rules.
(Salvation or 'paradise' in an afterlife is the standard means of making today's misery acceptable, but only one religion that I know of has offered a violent shortcut, at least since the middle ages.)

I'm quite willing to deal with muslims on the same basis as any other individuals I meet in the USA. But I'll never slip up and believe that they consider me an equal or that they would not be perfectly content to see me gone and a believer take my place.

(PS: I have to extend some of that constraint to Christians from the same area - I've heard from too many about Israel and Jews in general to believe otherwise.)

Actually, no I do not know that. That is how they are represented by the MSM. Since I have absolutely no contact with any, I cannot say they are otherwise.
