I would only counter that, at least on the outside as I'm not a follower, that there is no real separation between religion and politics with the followers of Islam, as your religion dictates everything that you do, and a separation of church and state is not in the code.<

"However, it strikes me that there is a notable difference between hating Americans for the actions of their democratically elected government and hating Muslims for the actions of extremists. as hate can ever make sense, the former kind of does."

"The latter is more like hating the Catholic church because Sister Mary Joseph banged your knuckles with a ruler."

More like hating the Catholic church because Sister Mary Joseph banged your knuckles with a ruler in the name of Catholicism. On top of that, having very, very few people of the same faith speak out against Sister Mary Joseph's behavior. At that point, you'd be closer to an "apples to apples" comparison (less the dead bodies in the name of Catholicism).
