These are the folks that are naive and gullible and whose philosophy is guilt by association. In other words they are bigots who think the entire Muslim religion is based on evil. Some Muslims may think the same of Christians, every race and religion has these idiots to deal with.
Ours just happens to be the Far Right Wing that used to be kept in closet on fringe where they belonged but along came the Tea Party and Republicans turned them into their leaders. This is what happens in a Far Right Wing world. These are the same weirdos that walk around in camo with an AK-47 strapped to them as they order breakfast at Denny's and claim to be normal and "patriots".
You know the ones who HATE Government and think Obama should act more like Putin. Notice they all call themselves "patriots", yet all hate the very idea of Government by the people for the people. They really just hate America and want to turn it into either a Christian theocracy or a Corporate lead government.
They don't accept the fact that Democrats run the executive office and they have not been able to deal with that in a sane or rational way, so they talk trash about Obama's birth certificate or call him a Muslim..etc. You know the type I am sure. They offer you anger and insults but nothing to make this country better for all. There are a lot of nuts in Right Wing World, so don't count on them going away.
We now just have to keep them from doing damage to the country...even Obama said that was the best he hoped of Republicans.
As a 5th generation Pakistan American all I will say is that after the 9/11 incident I have noticed a lot of discrimination against Muslims and my fellow Americans seem to be lost in complete ignorance by branding all Muslims "terrorists" just like I'm sure many German Americans would be upset if I identify all German Americans as "Nazis" or "Jew haters".
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
