I've been following this thread, and to throw in my two cents and to perhaps paraphrase a few things said in order to challenge you Benny:
No one has said that we deserve the hate, but it is justified. We all hate ISIS because they go around killing people in the name of Islam. Not all Islamists are extremists, but they're all being shunned by Donald Trump.
They don't deserve the hate and the fear, but arguably, it is justifiable by people with small minds who don't understand the difference.
No one said that the Muslim community is supposed to be oppressed like this, except the small minded people who hate and fear them.
These small minded people, my dear bunnycorn, are the bullies who flock together because they don't understand what they see and see it as wrong because they are told.
They are nothing more than bullies.
Now bullying is a very one way street with a dominant bully and a usually submissive victim. Perhaps the advantage of being a furry and not a Muslim is that laws aren't being set in motion against us, and even then it's something that can be denounced or bullied out of being.
However bullying is only existent as long as the victim allows it or accepts it. Richard Dawkins made a point once that "offence is never given, only taken". As soon as the child rises above the school bully, either by telling a teacher or by ignoring them, the bullying isn't bullying anymore.
Now I get your point, it's pretty **censor** hard to ignore a bully as he punches you in the face, but in the long run, furries arn't getting punched through the internet, they're just being called mean names by a few individuals who don't understand what a furry is, because they have a small mind in reference to the topic. Anything outside of that is assault and against the law.
tl;dr
The hate is not something we deserve, but is justified at least my small minded individuals.
Bullying is what you make of it and at the end of the day, hate against flurries, justified or not, only effects you if you let it.
