Well those of us in big cities encounter people of middle eastern origin quite often. Not only do they work with us in our offices but they also provide services and businesses that we use everyday. This is a trying time in this country for those that are from the Middle Eastern families who are loyal native Americans and immigrants that have followed our immigration laws to be in this country. We should be respectful that not everyone that believes in Allah wants to kill the American way.

The comment that they must all work at 7-11 is a complete insult to all Middle Easterners. Most that I know in my life are doing quite well in white collar jobs.

"The comment that they must all work at 7-11 is a complete insult to all Middle Easterners. Most that I know in my life are doing quite well in white collar jobs." Yea, they're all pilots. The point is that some (thousands) NON-AMERICAN arabs are here on student visas, green cards, etc. And I don't consider it bigotry to point that out. Be careful.

I know. Before I retired and became a hermit, I had an Iranian engineer, Vahid Eshraghi, working for me. He was hell on women but a pretty good engineer.
