gus. you said...." But "ridiculing" other people for their faith, clothing or whatever seems to be an apple-pie --even couth-- habit with you Yanks "....

And from the article you posted...." Hijab can make someone a target in America "Are you a terrorist?"

"Do you have a bomb in your bag?"

"Are you going to blow up this bus?"

Those were questions that a group of laughing teenagers bombarded me with as I rode a bus to work the other day.

I sat silently, staring straight ahead and pretending their remarks didn't hurt me. But they did.

As a veiled Muslim woman, it may have been my clothing that set me apart. Yet I knew it really was my faith that was the object of their ridicule.".....

And why gus do you suppose this is happening..if it is?

No one bothered muslims before 9/11 when radical muslims murdered 3000+ innocent people and every day we see where muslims strap bombs on themselves and go out and murder innocent people...Do you suppose islam it self has something to do with some of the reactions in the free world. islam is forcing change upon itself by it's fanatic behavior.

When the homicide bombers start murdering innocent people in your country how will you view those of the muslim religion?

Out of control politically correct stupidity has forced the free world to give up it's own customs to appease all others. Other customs and religions should learn to fit into our societies NOT the other way around. Maybe democracy also has to change.
