I would lean towards the latter, which means you can't really have any prejudices against Muslims. Heck, I don't think you can even assume every Muslims believes that "there is no God except Allah and Muhammed is the messenger of Allah", since there are so many "secular Muslims" where I live. |
Eh? 'Secular Muslims' still believe that there is no God except Allah and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the messenger of Allah, otherwise they wouldn't be Muslim.
Secularism is the separation of religion and state, not the elimination of it, my dear Flying Dutchman.
