I've got a question for you. I noticed how, just before the rodeo, Borat was talking to this cowboy, who seemed to believe Islam itself was the root of all evil. Is this widespread in the US or are most people still capable to look through various forms of propaganda?
Personally, from what I've experianced, the media does tend to portray Islam as a religion that is not entirely peaceful. Most, but not all, stories regarding Islam are about Islamic extremists, and that is probably to be expected because that is what sells. However, as some Americans have seen with the city of Dearborn, Michigan, people of Islam are not the enemy; unlike those terrorists who solely want to kill people. Even though the various news channels portray this, I'm not so sure the retards of this country understand it. And that is exactly what I'm worried about.
So when you say 'widespread,' it most certainly depends. If you're a farmer who watches the Fox News Channel everyday of his life, I'm sure such a notion of resentment for Islam could tend to arise. However, if you have any sort of brains in this world, you would realise not every member of Islam is out to get westerners, as that would just be completely absurd.
So to answer your question, it depends. Well educated people will look beyond these differences, while smaller minds will unintentionally bat an eye. And considering how far this country has come in a worldly view, that must tell us that not all of my compatriots are absolute, imbecilic hick-ish dunderheads.
