News flash! 40% of Americans don't like Muslims! So what? At least 50% of Americans don't like Republicans. And I hope every American doesn't like the Dallas Cowboys. And the University of North Carolina.
Each of us is entitled to like or not like whoever we wish. Not liking people of a certain race is not racism; not liking Muslims is not racism; not liking old people is not ageism. You have to actually treat all members of a class differently to even begin to raise a moral issue. And I would argue that you have to treat all members of a class badly for it to become a moral issue.
The thought police want you to believe you must like blacks or gays or Muslims or whatever, or else you're a racist or sexist or whatever, whether or not you actually do anything. Don't buy it.
