Default What Conservatives and Republicans think about us

Salaam Alikum.

I thought of something interesting awhile ago, and decided to go throught with it, despite the fact that it may be controversial to some.

On myspace, I created another account and posed as a sterotypical conservative. I put American Flags in my profile, and stuff like that. I then joined Republican forums and asked questions about Muslims to see what they thought about us. Awhile ago, I went to Republican forums asking that they be more tolerant of Islam and I got responses like "go back to your country", "you're going to concentration camps and you deserve it", etc. So, I created another account and posed as them to see what they really thought of us.

Here are the results (you may need a myspace account to view them, I'm not sure):

3) http://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?f...47809627722660



In the end, I got mixed results. For example, on one question, I asked if Muslims should be identified in America with tattoos and armbands, and some conservatives said "yes, you need to identify them for the sake of security", and others said "I thought we weren't living in 1930's Germany".

I kind of pulled a Borat, if that's how you want to think of it.
