Here in the deep south, racism is still a daily issue. I often hear "Some of
the nicest people I know are black." However, the people saying that often
don't consider black people nice enough for their homes and churches. I hope
your attitude is different regarding Muslims, and, I think it is. You just
happened to use an unfortunate turn of phrase.
