Twisterdog, he MAY have been having a bad day, but the fact that he only treated us in this way and was acting normal with the white Americans makes us sure he was racist. This is not the first time it happened, and we live in a very "international" area. Imagine if we were in a state where there were ONLY whites with a LOT of racist people. My cousin lives in Illinois and she gets yelled at everyday, just walking down the street, and she doesn't even "dress" like a Muslim. I guess they can just "tell" from her skin color. We've also had people yell at us for no reason, and it happens all the time since 9/11. Those people are idiots who associate everyone of a certain religion to a certain idiot. There ignorant behavior would be eqivilent to if we associate all Christians to Hitler. We were once walking back to our car in a store parking lot when this crazy guy in a truck zooms past us and yells "GO HOME!" I was born here, raised here, and now I'm being told to "go home???" What home? Isn't this home? I "thought" it was. I have absolutely NOTHING against white Americans and I have MANY wonderfully nice white American friends, but these people make me SICK.

Regarding what Ann said, I agree with her fully. Suppose 9/11 happened in Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or Saudi Arabia, or any other "Muslim" country, or any other country. I don't think America would have cared, nor sided with any one of them to fight the war on "terrorism" nor would they have helped them as Pakistan or other countries helped them. As for the general public, some may have cared, become heartbroken (if they ever got the right information), but most (in my opinion) wouldn't have cared at all. Just like no one cares for the innocent Afghans that were killed in the war (outnumbered 9/11 victims) no one would have cared if 9/11 happened somewhere else. Remember, other nations have had 9/11 x 10, or 1000, or even 1000. They have had millions of people in their nations killed in war. Who cares? No one. But when a tragedy happens in America, the whole world cares. Americans are no better than any other human being. We are all people, we are all equal. I find it totally injust to care about certain people so much, and to have no care at all for people of other nations. Mankind is equal, and all should be cared for equally, whether they are in your city, your state, your country, your continent, your world. And also, what Ann said about people saying "it serves the right" MANY Americans have told me that as well. How would they feel if people said that about them? Thos innocent Afghan women and children and babies that were killed. What crime did they commit that it should serve them right? Living in their homes, in poverty, in the freezing cold with no proper shelter, struggling to live and keep their children alive....................it serves them right to be killed? I don't think so. Very unfortunate. Sometimes I wish I was from another planet.
