I guarantee you I would not be shocked; ignorant bigots come from all places on earth. Other islamic middle-easterners, north africans, and asians etc, are some of the most discriminatory and racist toward their near-identical neighbours (saudi/qatar/pakistan/bangladesh) and religious brethren (sunni/shia/ahmadi/etc) than almost anywhere else in the modern world... so, yeah, I'm sure I'd be super surprised.
If you are ethnically, culturally or nationally related to this group, then i should lump you in with them, right? because that is what you are asking me to do with other refugees and illegal immigrants.
Why would I give you the benefit of the doubt and not them ,if you are so close to them?
