I think this is a really good documentary. I found it both heartbreaking and shocking.

Reminds me of a mosque that was under construction here in Tennessee...people kept sabotaging the construction, protested, did everything they could to stop it from being built. It was eventually taken to court, where a decision took forever to be made (not actually sure what the decision ever was). And it killed me, because what ever happened to our constitutional rights as American citizens? If you live in this country, then you have a right to freedom of religion, freedom of speech. People just kill me.

While sabotaging is not a constitutional right, non-violent protest is part of the freedom of speech...
Also, the media is very powerful propaganda tool. "Muslims" aren't the only one that is part of hate crimes nowadays.

That really isn't what I was getting at, but yes, you're right... >>

In schools we're told just how ideal we are in America, and yet this is constantly going on every day. The amount of discrimination still going on is terrible. America supposedly prides itself in being culturally diverse and yet here we are.

Arises from lack of mutual understanding.
It's an issue more complicated than freedom of religion or speech.

Yeah, but the fact that it had to go to court is silly. If I was the judge, I'd throw the constitution at 'em and say "Read this, son."

Sadly, America is also known for being the land of hypocrites.
The constitution is actually a great example of that :/ it made me sick reading the entire thing the other day..
I haven't seen someone actually uphold ANY part of the constitution in my entire life.

Not to go against America, but really. So many people have suffered and gotten little to no justice from it, despite the constitution supposedly giving us all these rights. -Sigh- The world isn't perfect, but it's sad to see all this anguish when it really doesn't need to be THIS bad.

Glad there isn't any melting pot here and not much discrimination against Muslims.

america? culturally diverse? one can dream. Things are obviously skewed towards the lives of rich, white christian americans, who ideally work for the bank. Hooray for Republicans and Capitalism!
I just want to bust a boom-box out and have every race, religion etc get along... through the power of music!~

Thats the whole thing about america
We may preach the whole cuturaly thing but its our downfall at the same time
We have all kinds of people here but nobody gets along with each other that well any more
Minority vs Minority
Ive every race get discriminated against aleast once or twice in my life
Its like the whole in god we trust crap
We are suppose to be neutral in all our goverment functions and that jazz
Yet take out a dollar bill or for anyone in school when you say the pledge
One line there sticks out
"in god we trust"
How is that neutral

Watching that made me sad for all the people who were attacked by the ignorant masses.

Unfortunately, people still ARE being attacked by the ignorant masses.
