[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me, too. Married to an Arab Muslim and have Muslim kids. [b]It's unbelievable[/b]. A Sikh man was just brutally attacked in Chicago, with the assailant calling him a terrorist. Mosques are being vandalized left and right. Two American citizens were temporarily banned from boarding their flight because some other passenger was terrified they were speaking Arabic to one another. Hate crimes against Muslims (or perceived Muslims) have increased by 50% since all those Pam Geller campaigns came out a couple of years ago. I bet it's through the roof now with the disgusting rhetoric from most Republican presidential candidates.

George Bush, as much as I didn't like him, stressed over and over that Islam is not the enemy. It is a message that has much more power, unfortunately, coming from a white Christian man, than from a black suspected Muslim one. :( [/quote]

Although I find the behavior you're describing deplorable, I don't find it unbelievable.  People here are terrified because of these extremist psychos- who happen to be Muslims.  It will pass, but I frankly wish people were more upset with the lack of response and assistance from the middle east, rather than blaming understandably frightened Americans for their fears and behaviors.[/quote]
