have no fear,since the police won't take any reports or write an "assisted slip",nothing's happened.....that's why no report.

Q: What do you do in a situation like that? Do you call the police? Are they any help?

A: First, you make some notes and save any files or recordings that document the incident. Second, you call the police (not 911, use the non-emergency line, and expect to wait for a response). Third, no, the police are *not* your first line of defense - you are your first line of defense. It helps to have realistic expectations in this regard.

You took notes because some time after you first reported the incident, perhaps months, maybe years later, it may turn out to have been important (hopefully the evidence that it was important does not include your own carcass).

Final notes:

* It is best to avoid getting into an adversarial relationship with the law if you expect the law to ride to your rescue. Having said that, I also know that sometimes it can't be helped, but try. The last officer who came around to take a report from me about a threat hit me with the classic questions: "what did you do to piss the terrorists off?" and "what do you expect us do to about it?". At that point my pupils shrank to the size of BBs (a bad sign for whatever happens to be downrange), but all I said to him was basically "thanks for everything, and have a nice day."

* There are some very good reasons to give preferential treatment to Muslims who are threatened - first and foremost it is because to prevent terrorist attacks you need informants, in this case you need people in the Muslim community.
