"Hey, you think that's funny, you f*#%ing Arabs?" They just waled along, oblivious to me. It was a sad and chilling experience.

A sad experience of what? Your racism? You admit that you didn't understand them. You saw them laugh, identified them as arabic, and assumed the worse. There is a large contigent of Christian arabs (I'm one), and a larger contigient of Muslims who hate bin Laden as much as we all do. They could have said something offensive. And just as likely, they could have made a crack that had you understood it, you would have laughed along with them.

Looking at pictures of the disaster and laughing are an unacceptable mix, no matter what language. Some things transcend language; their obvious contempt is one of them.

Yeah, right, danzaroni. The country is crawling with Arabs who hate bin Laden.... and stupid Americans who will actually believe you.

"A sad experience of what? Your racism?"

Black is white. White is black.

Typical.

Three arab speaking men look at a picture of a revered American symbol, the World Trade Center, and laugh.

saudia arabia has stated that it will join any arab nation that is attacked by The United States. The reason for any attack is irrelevant. The justification for any attack is irrelevent. All that is relevant is that we are not arab. That is racism.

They are fu*king arabs.

An American patriot (the poster) will not stand for this treatment and yells at them.

And in your mind he is the racist.

Black is white. White is black.

See how you all stick together...no matter what happens .Do the Arab's have a problem understanding right from wrong...Can any of you stand up and say what had happened was wrong ....... now he explained what had happened they were laughing when they looked at the pictures....that's like a slap in the face.....if the arabs don't like this country why don't they go back...I will tell you why they don't . They enjoy the freedom we have,the ability to get an good education, they ability to make good money, to do the things they are not allowed to do in their countries,, they have a taste of freedom and they don't want to give it up....

If you are truly a CHRISTIAN Arab, then you TOO should be offended by that despicable behavior -- LAUGHING at the greatest tragedy in American history?

Please don't defend these terrorist-sympathizing MUSLIMS. Call them for what they are! (However, they cannot be arrested for what they did, I will grant you that.)

P.S. Why don't you tell the forum why there are SO MANY CHRISTIAN Arabs in this country. (You know, the part about how they were MISTREATED by MUSLIM ARABS in the old country?)

"And just as likely, they could have made a crack that had you understood it, you would have laughed along with them."

Exactly! If these guys weren't such cowards, they would speak ENGLISH so there would be no question as to the nature of their remarks one way or the other.

[snorkeler]

No offense intended, but can you tell me anything....any possible joke that would likely come to mind while looking at photos of the WTC, post 9/11? I have a good imagination and sense of humor but, for the life of me, I can't come up with one.

I'm not saying that makes them terrorists, but it does give evidence to a lack of sensitivity and appreciation for the current climate in this country.

[GOPJ]

I also know good solid wonderful Muslim Americans and my heart goes out to them. These are cruel times for them.

On the other hand those who are terrorist need to be turned over to the FBI. If you suspect someone, take the license number and call your local FBI.

We are the dots the FBI must connect.

Seems like in a time like this they would speak English. The arab muslims from dearborn were all pissed when they were questioned for taking pics of The Mackinac Bridge. Then the rest of the story came out i.e. they were speaking in arabic on walkie-talkies and wearing combat fatigues. If we are racists they are total morons!
