I was surprised. I would have thought someone of your intelligence would
be above common low-brow racism and insults. Racism is yesterday.
Racism is for pathetic, no life Internet punks trying to get attention
and appear cool to people they will never meet.
Today American people suffer from fear of anyone who appears Arab or
Middle Eastern in appearance. This fear is induced by government and
media. I am a Lebanese American, born and raised here. My Grandparents
and assorted relatives came over "on the boat" so to speak. We are all
Middle Eastern in appearance and ancestry. When 9/11 happened, I had to
deal with bricks through my windows, death threats to myself, my "white"
wife and our darker skinned children, and the killing of our family pet
dog. My Grandparents and Parents went though the death threats and broken
windows, and the police refused to place a car outside the home for
whatever reason.
May we assume that you would condemn equally the racism that is so rampant in the mideast as you do the racism that exists in America? What about those who cloak themselves in the flag of Islam while outrageously violating its most basic tenets? Will you condemn them as well?
