"The Sept. 11 attacks, the Iraq war and suicide bombings worldwide have changed not only the way we live but the way we look at those around us, especially Muslims. "Islamophobia" has entered the American vernacular, and the anti-Muslim attitudes and prejudice it describes remain common.
Content Special Section: What Would You Do?But what if you witnessed "Islamophobia" in action and saw someone being victimized because of someone else's prejudices? What would you do?
ABC's production crew outfitted The Czech Stop, a bustling roadside bakery north of Waco, Texas, with hidden cameras and two actors. One played a female customer wearing a traditional Muslim head scarf, or hijab. The other acted as a sales clerk who refused to serve her and spouted common anti-Muslim and anti-Arab slurs."

Where is her male relative? She must be flogged!
Thanks. I tried to post it, but it did not link.
You’re welcome.
I always carry my Islamometer with me so I can easily spot the fakes.
I have turned away people looking for work that appear islamic and will keep on doing so, and whenever if possible will not do business with any.
Man that’s a great bakery. I assume they cooperated with this and now I can never go there again?
Why don’t they do a piece where the Mahometan slowly saws off an infidel’s head with a rusty dagger?
Or how about one where the imam is giving a sermon to kill all the Jews and enslave all the Christians at the local mosque?
Or maybe they should gauge peoples’ reactions to watching a Mahometan man burning one of his daughters alive for removing the head scarf or wearing “western” clothes.
Whaddya think?
Just in time for Obama’s ‘dress-up’ dust up too....(eye roll)
It is a good bakery if it the one I am thinking about. They make great kolaches.
That’s the one. Halfway between Dallas and Austin.
A bit off topic, but very fair and balanced:

No...they can’t do that! It’s not to CAIR’s liking! It would be Islamophobic!
Doesn’t this crap make you sick!
Her face wasn’t covered. Her forearms were bare. ABC will probably win some sort of award for this garbage.
The first link is a little reassuring but the other link is more common unfortunately.
> Doesn’t this crap make you sick!
Very much so.
How long do you think they can keep it up before the people figure out that they really, REALLY want to kill us all, steal everything we have and turn the United States into a backwater hellhole like the West Bank or the Gaza strip.
Why would a Muslim go to the Czech Stop? To buy some pigs in a blanket and kolaches? “Bustling” doesn’t even begin to describe how busy that place is 24 hours a day 365 days a year. It would be a pretty tempting target for a terrorist, because there are always long lines, and the owners are such tightwads that they won’t expand ther facilities. With the traffic that comes into their shop they could justify expanding to facilities that would take up a whole city block with a 16 or 24 pump gas station instead of the cramped facitlity with maybe 8 pumps that are difficult to get into and out of.
Meanwhile the media denigrates Christians whenever the opportunity arises. Mitt Romney’s candidacy was questions by the MSM because he’s a Mormon. Every year at Christmas and Easter we have another expose how Jesus may never have really existed. The entire anti-abortion movment is forever mentioned along with the handful of violent opponents who’ve vandalized clinics or stalked abortionists and it is cited as examples of Christian terrorism.
Phobias are where you look for them. Just like Imperialism is where you want to look for it. Islamic imperialism seeks to establish Islamic Law as the law of the land with all followers bowing to the Mecca of the faith 5 times every day. That’s some empire.
But no, WE are the imperialists for being lowly kufir in the “muslim lands”. Lands that weren’t always muslim.
OPINION:
Actually, most Muslims are NOT terrorists, but most of the terrorists (that come to the public’s attention) are Muslims.
