text: Peggy, one primary purpose of these racists and bigots is to try to stop all opposition to their narrow thinking.  Of course you are right that people should not be blaming an entire religion for the acts of extremists. Christians were never blamed for the KKK who are a supposedly Christian group. Nor as you say were Irish Catholics or Protestants called Christian terrorists. 
  But I agree also that it's pointless trying to convince hateful people about what the facts are. Of the millions of refugees, there are very, very, very few "terrorists".  And those who are do what they do for political, not religious, reasons. Have fun at the market.
