The Onion Takes On Islamophobia

The funny people at The Onion introduce us to “Scott Gentries”, a man who Already Knows Everything He Needs To Know About Muslims:

Gentries, 48, said he had absolutely no interest in exposing himself to further knowledge of Islamic civilization or putting his sweeping opinions into a broader context of any kind, and confirmed he was “perfectly happy” to make a handful of emotionally charged words the basis of his mistrust toward all members of the world’s second-largest religion.

Funny if it weren’t so common. Rarely have the fictional characters of the Onion sounded so real.
