Hi CL!

Islamaphobia. When I married my husband it was simply “We hate you because of the hostages in Iran.” The hate we received then, or rather face to face confrontation was surprisingly more than it is now. And this is Oklahoma. I am always on the lookout. But after reading so much about it but never having to deal with it like in the past make me wonder how much a roll the Internet plays. If you add the Internet to talk radio and TV pundits it’s crazy.

The hate on the Internet wears me out. It’s not just Islam, it’s any religion. It’s Dem vs rep.you name it. The anonymity of the Internet has just cranked it up to 10. If I spend to much time on it and leave the house I expect to run into it on a person to person interaction too but I don’t. If my Muslim friends wore hejab maybe I would see more of it but they don’t. I just don’t see a end to it now, not with all the various amplification described above. All previous immigrants over the years put up with a lot but all this just makes it worse. IMHO
