Its crazy that people are so PC that they bury their heads in the sand and act like there isnt a Muslim problem in this world. it's crazy also that there are insensitive people who try to equate college parties and looting to gang rape by 200-300 Middle Eastern Muslim men in the middle of a town square.

And it's also crazy that some folks can't read a post without translating everything to suit their own mindset...nobody is equating one with the other...the post was in regards to an earlier post which said it's a mistake to expect "those communities" to act like civilized human beings. The campus riots are not an example of acting like "civilized human beings", I could also mention other examples such as the Harlem riots in the 60's and the Watts riots, ever witness the KKK in action? The point, which you deliberately distort is not to equate which events are worse but to show that all societies, even ours, has it's share of lawless idiots. In the Soviet Union before the fall of same, they took advantage of any misbehavior in this country to brand America as a lawless society. Folks who want to demonize Islam based on misbehavior of some are doing exactly the same thing. Calling me and others who express similar views crazy and insensitive might make you feel good but it doesn't change the facts...there are good folks and there are bad folks everywhere and we aren't so perfect and highly evolved that we can point the finger at other cultures, religions and peoples.
