Yeah that was well said :)
I felt so bad for Muslim Americans (and still do) the first few days after the attack on America because you know they have to be taking grief left and right.
But after the 5th day of "Muslim Americans are US - they are AMERICANS not terrorists who attack civilians and wish ill upon the West and our freedoms" I started to feel like you did - ummm law enforcement can probably do things to stop the hate crimes but obviously the people doing this are not gonna stop no matter how many segments Peter, Tom and Dan run (often times having pacifists who won't comment on other subjects using this as an excuse why Bush is handling this so wrong because his jingoism is causing these attacks and harassment episodes).
You verbalized what I was thinking but never said quite well. Thanks.
