Amend my observation to 'many conservatives often think killing people is a great solution to anything.' Yes, my 'conservative death wish' is a generalization, but it's not based on my imagination. Wassillaguy's comment is only the latest in many many examples seen online. The attitude often comes out in discussions of the death penalty; many conservatives rather frankly lust for the deaths of certain wrongdoers, and think there is something wrong with anyone who doesn't. And I do think that setting-up a death-trap and baiting violent Muslims into it is this very attitude, taken past talk and into action.

As a generalization, it's a thing that seems typical, but I don't mean to suggest universal--or that non-conservatives are in all cases immune or anything. But you yourself say that your non-xenophobic conservative friend is 'untypical.'
