I mean it is easier I totally see when something comes close ot home for you. I get that but you owe it to yourself and others to see there are more people than just you in the world. I do try to understand the conservative world view and honestly I just don’t see it. I just don’t see why someone in a town or even a county that has fewer Muslims than my graduating class frets about Shariah Law and can’t see that those of us in diverse areas have worked, been educated with, etc with Muslims and other groups for years.

To the best of my knowledge there are no Muslims anywhere in my county, but I occasionally hear fear statements from people in my town.

The strangest I mentioned here before, when my wife and I returned from Poland. A lot of people told us they couldn’t imagine travelling to Poland, because they were afraid ISIS might attack Poland. No amount of reassurance that Poland is not exactly on Daesh’s radar or that your chance of being a victim of a terrorist is lower than being eaten by a shark after being struck by lightning in the Sandhills assuages that.
