I wonder.
If the occupants of the World Trade Center had actually seen the airplanes careening toward them the morning of 9/11,
would they have been "Islamophobic" too?
There are some very good questions being asked here. The one I just quoted is one, and IronJack asked another: why can't they try to understand us? I don't know how it is where you live, but the OKC media has been awash with all these Islamics demanding that we learn to understand them. Many--no, make that most--aren't even citizens! They're guests in our country, and demanding our understanding? Some are quite strident about it. I switch channels. I understand one thing quite well: on September 11th 2001, followers of Islam killed thousands of innocent men, women and babies in the name of their religion. What else do I need to understand?
