I lived among muslims when I worked in D.C. For some reason there are quite a few of them there, working for embassies and such I imagine.

They were very standoffish and obviously had no interest in being my friends, but they certainly weren't a threat to me. It seemed they mostly wanted to be left alone.

My prejudices run along more familiar lines, like groups of young black males.

I doubt the women were against the terrorists as much as we are, but they will in all probability live out their lives without assaulting me or anyone else, so I live and let live.

I think we are hardwired to categorize people into "us" and "them." There's no harm in it so long as it doesn't lead you to treat people unjustly.
