Merc sent me a book I expressed interest in, at his own cost. And I am pretty much as liberal as they come.

When he is generalising, he hates liberals (have no idea about Muslims, I've never got that vibe). But when it comes to person-to-person I honestly believe him to be accepting, generous and hospitable.

My apols if you weren't referring to Merc when you wrote mercy!
I agree. We all, especially me, have to do a better job of separating our feelings about people from our feelings about their beliefs. Right now American politicians seem to think the opposite and it is doing a hell of a lot of damage. We get people saying they will "take the country back" or demonizing different groups just when the country needs to pull together.
