"Then we win the election because you missed the point."
As in, ignore the message at your own peril, we don't have to care because we are content now.
But in the Muslim's case, the implications for us ignoring their message are more profiling, xenophobia, etc. Which is why I would argue they need to look internally to resolve the issues inside their communities.
