There's been some reports of vigilantism (sp?) against Arabic/Islamic people in and around NY: an Afghanni dr was brutally beaten as he left work at a locl hospital, 2 Palestinian children wearing their nations flag on shirts got their a$$es kicked by classmates, a 75 year old man was arrested for attempting to run over an Arabic woman in a mall parking lot, etc etc, the stories go on. It's only going to get worse......especially since there've been reports that there have been some "celebrating" in some local communities. And, knowing the NY court system/juries/police, there are no way that anyone inflicting violence on anyone of Arab decent will be prosecuted or convicted of bias times at a time like this.
