There is no rising alienation or anger among American Muslims, despite a feeling that they are being targeted by anti-terrorism government programs, a comprehensive new poll found Tuesday.

The government has some reason to think that there may be Muslims in the U.S. with terrorist aims. It has, after all, happened before, and not just once.
It is very much in the interest of U.S. Muslims in general that these guys be stopped. Efforts to head off further attacks are not “anti-Muslim”, they’re good for both America at large, and Muslims in America. They’re good for the international reputation of Muslims, as conversely, when an attack occurs and runs up a body count, that’s not so good.
Small wonder, then, that American Muslims are not aghast at the existence of these programs.

Same can be said for white Christian whackjob cons, a few of whom have been every bit as lethal as Muslim whackodoodles.

Great idea. Let’s religiously/racially profile white Christian whackjob cons, too. I’m sure they’ll be grateful for the effort. /

And are they grateful for the effort, because it cuts down on the stereotypes about white Christian vigilantism?

Your sarcasm is easy to detect. No need to clutter up things with slashes and laughs.
However, I doubt that a survey of Christian communities would result in 21% responding that they see evidence of extremism regularly.
