Huh…who would have thought.
@Aaliyaan - yup…a lot of them hate all Muslims too. So I guess they are equal opportunity haters. They only like you if you are one of them
@Kristenmomof3 - Well that’s nice? lol If you’re going to be a hater, why not be an equal opportunity hater?

I recently saw this and thought it may add some insight. I’m one of those people though that like to get both sides of the story before I make a decision on how I feel about something. This is one of those issues where I feel a balance needs to be found. http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/splcattacks18christiangroups.htm
What I find most disturbing is that religious groups, Christian or otherwise, are becoming targeted by people. I think it is very sad and acceptance needs to be found on both sides.
