There's lots of Muslims here and I get along with them pretty fine, BUT I do have qualms with them elsewhere.
The weekend of Christmas I was visiting my relatives with my family (my family lives really far away so I don't go home that often, I usually only see them when they visit other relatives since I live much closer to most of them) and the last day there was a bit of a reunion in my aunt's church's basement that she rented out. This aunt is the one I mentioned that lives in Minneapolis and works at the University of Minnesota. Well when I got there I noticed graffitti on the entrence to the church, although I had no clue what it was saying.
I asked her about that when I got inside and she said she had never noticed it before. Well she said she had never seen it before and asked one of the ministers when he came around. And he said that came up only a couple days ago and they submitted a police report, and it was likely caused by the fact the nearby apartment complexes house a lot of Somalian Muslims, and there have been reported incidents of Muslim gangs attacking Christian targets in this way before. So yeah, I am annoyed.
But I have never heard of that happening down here, in fact almost all the graffiti and vandalism I see is either anti-Bush or pro-Christian. Etched on the walls around here especially bathroom stalls you usually see something like "BUSH IS A TERRORIST" and the citing of some Bible verse. Some have even combined the two ("God is in control, Bush is not; Trust God, not GOP")
