According to this blatantly bias article, Federer urges Americans to keep a special eye on Muslims who use the "cloak" of religion to push certain political ideologies. Due to the actions of Major Hasan in Fort Hood, it seems that being Muslim is synonymous with being a murderer. This article explores how Islam is a religion, a political system, and a military system. Church and state are in fact separate entities in America; however if one takes a look at human history, many times religion is tied with politics. Muslims in America are generally law abiding citizens and those who are not, are always labeled "Islamic fundamentalists." When any other American citizen commits a crime, their religion is very rarely mentioned; however when a Muslim commits a crime, religion becomes the main focus and motive.
