The FBI maps the noncriminal patterns of living of American Muslims. The NYPD does the same to Muslims in New York. Which prompted the New York Times‘ Sam Roberts to dig through the police archives until he found maps of “hyphenates” — cops’ records of where Those People live. Except in this case, Those People were Irish and Germans from immigrant communities suspected of Redness or anarchism.
Explained a New York State Senator around 1919:
There are hundreds of thousands of Irish in this country who are not loyal, not American and never will be American.
I wonder who we’ll demonize in 2080 while looking back on the Great Muslim Panic of the Early 21st Century — and consoling ourselves that it was just an ugly aberration of American history.

Unlike Islam, Irish and German are not ideologies. They are nationalities. Islam is an ideology that holds its adherents superior to all others. Proof of this is found throughout out the Quran and Hadiths. Specifically, kuffar are supposed to pay the jizya and be subdued by the superior Muslims. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is currently talking about instituting this for kuffar such as the Coptic Christians. Do you think that there are not Muslims in the US that want the same here? Not all, but some.

Yes, nationalities nor other religions never hold themselves superior to others. Never met a proud Frenchman in my life. Nor a Christian who believes in his religion so strongly that he hands out pamphlets in the cold advertising how you can be saved by Jesus.

Did you ever notice that typically, the very same people who deride Islam as an “Ideology” get quite exercised if you refer to Christianity as such?
