And yet you only object when you also want to say ....

 Who is doing that?  And if they are, what makes you think its due to fear?

I think you haven't been reading my posts if you think I don't object to tarring with same brushing.  Although it is true I like to argue, and I prefer to take a contradictory position to lefties.  That's difficult, given my views generally, but I tough it out.  I always assume that the people who would tar an entire group with the same brush actually know they are wrong.  The opposite is true with hippies. 

Fear is just a figure of speech when used in that way.  They don't want to upset certain people.  I don't think they are scared of it.  They actually really just don't want to.   

When they refuse to acknowledge something, it's usually due to bigotry and stubbornness.  The sort of people who actually want you to believe the burka is a choice.  That their feminism doesn't give them the right to criticise another culture.  Those who think letting an actual Muslim speak about Islam is a mistake, so ban her, if she isn't going to toe the line.  The people who think that giving offense is fine, so long as they agree with to whom you are giving it.  (that last isn't just Muslims, of course.  It includes a lot of groups. )  The people who think that terrorism is okay until it kills more people than lightning.
