I would like to mention an issue that is disturbing. Some of our Arab- American citizens have unfairly been targeted by bigots. Islamic Centers have been fired upon, individuals have been threatened, and there is a fear of escalating violence. I know of nothing practical to do now to help, but want to publicize it, in the knowledge that there are lurkers, as well as regulars, who may come across opportunities to address the issue in their communities. I saw on the news that a community in Texas had gone out of its way to show interfaith solidarity, for example, and there has been a vigil against such bigotry at George Washington University in the District. Officials in NYC have deplored it, and increased security in Arab neighborhoods. Please, if you have a chance to speak out, do so........
