I agree. Too many jackasses around the country are taking their frustrations out on anyone who looks like they came from the middle east. Only the dimwittedest damn fools among us will start abusing people for how they look.
"Trust but verify" as President Reagan said, is the way we must co-exist in America. Most from such ethnic groups are loyal Americans, but some are enemies of everything we stand for. If we abuse those who are loyal Americans, we are no better than Bin Laden. That doesn't mean we have to sign on to politically correct and ignore any suspicious activity we see-just that we report it to the authorities and let the experts handle it.

I'm sorry, but everytime I see the towers being smashed by those airplanes and see the buildings crumbling, my tolerance just keeps fading away. I remember as a child the talk about the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor and people were afraid of anyone Japanese. It is nothing less than human to be afraid and suspicious of anyone who resembles those who have just torn our country upside down and then have the nerve to laugh about it. Sorry, that takes a lot of TOLERANCE that I just don't have at the moment. So don't try to picture those of us who feel this way as being Skinheads or Facists. We just don't feel like being very "nice" at the moment. We're human. Are you??

agreed. everyone is a potential enemy within american borders right now. thanks to 19+ radical islamics of middle eastern origin. radical muslims are black, white, red, brown and yellow. too many non-radical muslims have not responded very wisely to america's plight. many have. we need all americans to do their part and infiltrate and gather intel with whatever unique associations and relationships that they have.
