When that happens, I wouldn't even want to be close to looking like a Middle Easterner.
When the SHTF, there's going to be blood in the streets.
After 9-11, there were many assaults in the NY - NJ area.
An Indian guy came into work with a black eye. Random attack at a gas station. My brother in law witnessed a similar assault. Many stayed at home for a few days till the outrage of 9-11 dissipated.
The backlash from the next hit will be fearsome because every American will know that the Whitehouse is now promoting the terrorists, and that our families are sitting ducks. Watch guns go off the shelves like burgers at McDonalds....
