" In Falls Church, Virigina early this year, a supervisor told a Muslim employee: ''If you weren't fasting here, you'd be in Algeria blowing up people.'' Without knowing the specific circumstances of that employee, how can you judge his employer's remarks? Perhaps they were justified? Blind political correctness is very dangerous, particularly at this moment in time.

The Americans are enraged that Osama and his band of folks have discriminated against the US, have branded the US as evil without understanding and appreciating the US values and US way of life. As if that wasn't bad enough, the Americans reciprocate the prejudice with such remarks as the supervisor in Virgina. How can Americans claim to be better when their actions reflect the same prejudice that Osama and his men hold? Anyone willing to respond. There is nothing as political correctness. Only what values we have and how we portray them in challenging situations.
