My hubby went to a gun show near Philly shortly after 9/11 and was creeped out at the number of muslims there.

He said the wifes were the ones that were purchasing the guns

Doesn't surprise me... Here's what happened to me. I was on a bus to work a few months into living there. It was crowded, I was standing. I shifted as more people piled on and inadvertently stepped on someone's foot. I looked over and then down, apologizing profusely to a little girl who I discovered was the one standing beside me. She looked at me then her mom, in full Muslim dress, who said to the little girl "...she grow up and kill you...". I can't remember the first part of what she said, but I was absolutely blown away.

I went into work and asked a girl who had lived in Philly forever what it was all about - I wasn't even sure if the woman was Muslim. The girl told me it was "unusual" because they're normally "nice people who keep to themselves."

I never found out what she thought of 9.11.
