Generalities

The biggest things crushing debate in the US are generalities.
All Muslims are evil. Their "religion of peace" is a sham. They are all anti-American.
Do you believe that? Then why are thousands of American soldiers risking their lives to save them? Why are they taking all this abuse when they could just sweep across Iraq, Iran, and Syria, getting rid of all the terrorists?
All Democrats are moonbats. All Republicans are nazis. All fundamentalists are crazy. The list goes on.

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Agreed, several members of Congress have proven themselves guilty, as have several bloggers. But it doesn't hurt to listen to alternate arguments. Think of it as a test of your cognitive functions. Read what they say, and try to come up with a counter-argument that doesn't contain insults, off-topic references, or circular reasoning.

Oh, and several Muslims don't believe in terrorism. Including, by the way, the families of those being killed by the terrorists - at a greater rate than Americans, right now.
