4. Many of my neighbors are Muslims.

I could say the same about them. Almost all who can vote vote for Democrats. I also have many Hmong neighbors. They also vote for Democrats. Most of them who are Christian are protestants. Others adhere to traditional religious beliefs, about which i know very little.

Anti-Islamic prejudice is out there, too. Again, a similar situation, and often, it's the same people who are antisemitic. Anti-Hmong sentiment also runs strong and again, from the same people who hate Jews and Muslims. Maybe the rest of us should try to get along, eh?

Isn't that interesting?
