No, I am not missing the point
It all comes down to racism, and to me it adds a double meaning when you factor in Obama is black as well. IMO.
I see it as a way to call him a Radical, terriorist and a negative form of calling him Black as well. I think it is all lumped in together, and each part is wrong in any sense. I think people use it in two ways and both are racist. One, is being racist by thinking Muslims are all terrorists and radicals, and the other is to call him a negative form of black, without actually saying it. IMO. Both meanings is racist and wrong.
