Well, given the level of utter hatred of *anyone* who is Islamic, there is no doubt in my mind that MEs would be targets of revenge *IF* the sniper is ME. Just look at what happened after 911.

IF this person/persons is/are from the ME, and the cops are squashing it, then they are just as guilty as the perps, IMO; political correctness be damned.

Not much happened after 911 to the the American Muslims in this country.( a few random acts against innocents by idiots) All in all the country as a whole was very restrained considering we could have bombed Afghanistan off the map the same day.

What happened? I remember one incident, and that was a Sikh who was shot in Arizona, not even an Arab.

For weeks after 11 September 2001, all I heard in the Detroit media was the pounding liberal drumbeat of incessant "Religion of Peace" and "We Mustn't Hold It Against Them." There weren't any incidents; no rednecks from Taylor fired up their pickup trucks and went on rampages through east Dearborn.

For the police to think that Americans would turn on moslem Americans, shows the deep mistrust and contempt within which the liberal police officials hold the citizenry.
