Following the backlash, Starbucks' senior vice president of communications, Corey duBrowa, deleted his Twitter account, which only added to critics' outrage.

"Our problem is not the Islamic radical, but the inherent radicalism of Islam. Islam is a radical religion. It radicalizes those who follow it. Every atrocity we associate with Islamic radicals is already in Islam. The Koran is not the solution to Islamic radicalism, it is the cause."

Just shut up Starbucks and let us live peaceable lives!

These people think they're better than others because they want to talk about something like race???
