>"So, if I said "boy those people wearing white sheets on thier heads really make me nervous when I see them in a primarily black neighborhood" that would be exceptable. Because we all know that the KKK has a violent history driven by a twisted religous and race motivated agenda. Of course if I said the same thing about a muslim well that's different because... hey why is that >any different?"
That's a twisted and flawed comparison. The KKK was a terrorist organization. If Jaun Williams had said that he gets nervcous when he sees members of Al Queda on a plane? Well, that would be an apt comparison. But the comparison of the KKK to Muslims is no more legit than comparing the KKK to "Christians".
Honestly, what Williams said is closer to "When I see a black man in my neighborhood, I lock the doors!" And that's still a flawed comparison.
