It is not currently politically correct to flame Muslims.  Not only
that, but they have the stereotype of being terrorists (as if abortion
clinic bombers and snipers aren't) so folks are afraid of them, despite
the fact that only a tiny fraction of a percent are actually terrorists.
Of course, Muslims who run Islama bin Laden screensavers and do other
things to intimidate those around them (as the guy from Yemen who is
in my wife's class does) don't help the stereotype any.
