That's not what I'm saying.
The confederate symbol is part of flag that separation of state and federal, that's government matter but Islam is part of religion like Christianity. It is obviously apple to orange.
If Islam is replaced with ISIS or Al Qaeda, it will make sense but confederate symbol is part of heritage that not used by government official anymore.
Islam is very big religion with over billion of people - it means not all of them are bad, but only ISIS, Al Qaeda and religious terrorists are bad sector of Islam.
What about their Belief turn into terrorism. Symbol and religion make no big differences.
