Not meaning to be a PC weanie here, but what does a "Muslem" look like?

Its like saying they saw a Catholic, or a Baptist....

[old-ager]

A few self-proclaimed muslims
Some Baptists, presumably
And finally, some Catholics

If you saw Middle Eastern foreigners acting suspiciously, your wouldn't say they were "Catholic or Baptist appearing". Christian Arabs don't act much like Muslim Arabs.

As a matter of fact, some people (in the UK) do think that they can identify a Catholic on sight. But what they really mean is someone with Irish features. Arabs come in all shapes and sizes, but are usually dark. However, I have never been able to tell the difference between an hispanic look and an arab look. Must be the heritage of the Moors ...

The Arabs of the Levant are much more varied in appearance than the others. One Zionist novelist, he wrote in one of his books about how the character gave up on judging by looks, after seeing too many blonde Palestinians and swarthy Jews from Germany. The Palestinians, in particular, go all the way from looking quite African, to being peachy-faced English types.
