When Babs wrote this,I quit reading. Anything from the rest of the article that is interesting...?
----------------------------------
Amaar is of Middle Eastern appearance, has spent a year in Afghanistan and several more in Egypt, is travelling alone on a one way ticket, and has been overheard loudly using the words "bomb" and "suicide" on a cellphone (perfectly innocently, of course -- who hasn't used those words in an airport lineup?).
Still, he is shocked, shocked, that he should be taken aside for questioning.
In this surreal sequence -- sorry, not comic for me, but then I would have found Hogan's Heroes kind of a downer if it aired in 1946 -- the witty and confident Amaar displays insouciant contempt for the implied Islamophobia of the dumber-than-dumb cops.
If you took the line in question as anti-Semitic, it certainly wouldn't have been intended as such as the article's author is herself an apparently devout Jew.
