I think the people that stood up for the clerk were very admirable.
I also thought the intro to the piece was pretty funny, comparing spray-painting a mosque with graffiti to detonating a bomb which killed and maimed American civilians. Or flying planes into buildings.
Islam is scary. We have the right to mistrust everything about it, and shame on ABC trying to guilt Americans into how they should feel about it.
Wonder if this little exercise is carried out on network TV in places like Pakistan, Iran or Saudi Arabia, wondering if a Muslim would stand up for a Jew, Christian, Kurd or Yazidi? Of course the difference there is those religions don't have a history of carrying out atrocities against Muslims, so there's little reason to fear them.
