Well Roy look in any newspaper.  Watch any news channel.  Every single day there is an article about terrorist attacks or multiple terrorist attacks in the world.  Pretty close to 99% of those reported terrorist attacks are Islamic in nature.

So our media beats us over the head with never ending stories of terrorism day in and day out.  Now you call this an "irrational fear" of Islam?  You do understand the concepts of advertising don't you.  You know get the message out "Drink Coke" "Have a Coke and smile".  hey before you know it that thought is ingrained in our heads. When you are at the store  you say "hey I think I'll have a coke and a smile".  This is human nature.  This is part of how advertisers get to us and it is a science.

So tell me everyday that there is a terrorist attack in the name of Islam and then tell me I'm having "irrational fears" about it.  A bit conflicting don't you think?  There are people that do not want this message coming home here and it is "rational"
