[lbo-talk] America's Anti-Muslim Prejudice

at Loyola Marymount University, I sometimes hear about anti-Catholic
prejudice. It exists, but my impression is that it's something that
only ex-Catholics are into. And it's the older generation, since the
post-Vatican II version of U.S. Catholicism doesn't involve much to
hate. Catholics and ex-Catholics don't like the hierarchy, but that's
different from hating Catholicism.

But then again, I'm a secular Protestant (i.e., an ex-Unitarian), so
what do I know?
