Imagine if State Sen. Patrick Colbeck told Abdul El Sayed, " you may not hate Christians, but Christians definitely hate you."
People would call for him to resign from his senate seat, drop out of the Governor's race, and apologize!
But it's radio silence mostly after Abdul told him, "you may not hate Muslims, but Muslims definitely hate you" last week at the Michigan Press Association forum featuring the candidates for Governor from both parties.

Too his credit, El Sayed has since apologized, though the fact he would make such a statement in the first place is interesting.
