It is only certain parts of Islam that are violent - those who live under, and follow, Sharia law are certainly evil, but the majority of Muslims do not follow this law. Eleanor comes across as offensive because she appears to lump all Muslims into the same category, which just isn't fair. She could try being a little less offensive in her feelings. |
