He’s a Muslim! Murderer! Get him!
The Muslims they’re cursing and calling as “murderers” are Americans just as much as them.

Is today’s Islamophobia part of America’s history of fear?
NY Times columnist Nicholas Kristof yet again sheds an interesting perspective on the today’s hysteria about Islam. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/05/opinion/05kristof.html?_r=1&src=ISMR_HP_LO_MST_FB Historically, unreal suspicions were sometimes rooted in genuine and significant differences.
