Thompson said he felt this sort of broad dialogue was needed to create a memorial that reflected the complexity of Muslims' place in America, especially given the current political situation.

A couple of years ago (shortly before I left the state), I had an interesting "dialogue" with a Muslim while in the check-out line at the Portland Christmas Tree Shop (probably buying Chanukah supplies, lol).

There was a cashier in hijab several cash registers away from me, facing my direction. Talk about the evil eye...

... For some reason I got this dame's attention. I'm guessing it was the blue zippered sweatshirt I was wearing (Israeli flag kind of blue). The sweatshirt has a small Israeli flag patch on one side of the front, which stands out nicely with the color of the sweatshirt.

The woman caught a glimpse of the patch and immediately seemed agitated. She was busy scanning purchases while repeatedly looking up at me with the most disgusted look on her face. She would glare intently at me, then look down at what she was doing, and then repeated this so often that surely she had some sort of problem. I smiled pleasantly, even though she continued with her bizarre expressions of peace and tolerance.

There are not many Jews in Maine (or at least ones who aren't JINOs), so the sight of an Israeli flag probably sent her over the edge. I was happy that in a small way, I was able to impress upon her the inevitable march of the Zionist entity to every corner of the globe.
