Didn't know Arab-Americans being rounded up and persecuted in American streets, a la Kristalnaught, or that the U.S. government is publishing cariacatures of Arabs for regular Americans to target. If so, thanks for the heads up!

BTW, apparently Congress isn't burning. Seems to be functioning; they just had elections there and Bush lost the support of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

They learn from their past mistakes. Being more subtile and less obvious is the key. But the racism against Muslims is definitely there.

Maybe we will give the Palestinian a land, when the world is done with Bush

The palestinians have land. Their unique political negotiating style has led them to give much of their land away in increments.

You are right, of course.
Sorry I was going a bit overboard, but anti-Islam sentiments have taken on a rather ugly, irrational form reminiscent of anti-semitism.

Yeah, things look different now than a week ago.
