The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

On re-read I see how you could view it that way, but his answer seems to ignore the "so". I see a disconnect in his answer from relating it to the preface of the question (involving his surgeon) and going straight to how he views Islam in American society in general.

Except his answer perfectly explains his reason for being uneasy about a surgeon with a Muslim-sounding name. He thinks they are all out to either convert or murder him, and therefore should be avoided, pushed back against, and rejected. I see no disconnect between his answer and why he would have had a problem with a surgeon named Abdallah.
