I am sure that is true in principle. But if you listen to Muslims in our community (what this article is about) they very much feel like the target of that criticism, and with good reason. 

That's where the accusations of bigotry come from, because people improperly target them as agents of things that they are only associated with by appearance and labels. 

It's not unfounded. From the threats Muslims in our own community have seen and much worse things that have happened across the country.

We all should make sure fellow citizens are allowed to peacefully and lawfully practice their faith.
