Great points, Jarnhamar -- guilt by association sucks & shouldn't happen, but some people paint groups with a broad brush based on the idiocy of a few thanks to narratives being pushed all over the place, not just by MSM. It only takes a few idiots to make any group look bad, and undereducated media doesn't help.

You've given a fair bit of thought to how you felt in the situation, so how about a slightly different variation on the same theme? Wonder how these folks feel after an attack ISIS/Daesh takes credit for? Whether they wonder if people looking at them think they're terrorists? If they feel associated with other Muslims doing stupid shit? Whether they consider any ISIS-linked attacker a psycho murderer that just happens to be associated with the same million or so member religion here in Canada* that they are?Jarnhamar said:... walking past crowds of Muslim men women and children in what appeared to be a predominately Muslim neighborhood ... want to mention they were absolutely polite and friendly with me ...
