Are there any examples of groups who were more able to identify with "the other" because they were a part of a united group--who were actually able to bridge that gulf? The website seems to be trying to do that, by saying "We're American and Americans have these values," but they use the anti-Muslim politicians to show the need for being united. Have any groups successfully unified themselves without vilifying "the other"? And if there is nothing to vilify, where is the urgency in being united?
