But the drive-by hate-yous are definitely the fringe, and we’re not going to change their minds anyway. What’s truly pervasive is, you know, just a lot of questions about Muslims. A lot of confusion: what is the deal with this religion? Why do you guys dress like that? That was both the thing that I learned and the thing that I suspected going in—I thought, I feel like a lot of people haven’t met any Muslims! So they’ve got questions! And sure enough, when we were on tour, everybody had questions! Why don’t you guys denounce terrorism, why do you dress like that, why don’t you guys let women do anything… those are probably the top three questions. And those questions have emerged because the media gives a really one-sided image of what Muslims are. What other questions could you have, if this is the only thing you see?
