the Muslim in the street has been (it seems to me) growing testier over the past couple of years. The arrogance and agitation is palpable.
And something I never saw before: a hardcover book, it actually looked like a textbook, with a title something like "Terrorism" or "Islamic Terrorism", sitting on the bench at one of these computer repair shops that pop up and have "I'm a Front for Something" written all over them. This was at 88th & 2nd about a year or so ago.
The last time I saw cabbies and coffee vendors so testy was a week before 911.
