True that. The thing is it seems that full out blown paranoia about Muslims has grown dramatically. It is a world where Grover Norquist, Chris Christie, and Herman Cain are being accused of being agents of the Muslim Brotherhood simply because they have a Muslim wife, appointed a Muslim American to a judgeship, and walked back bigoted comments about Muslims. It’s scary shit. If I were a Muslim right now, I’d be feeling not too welcome.

I work retail, my job is to help customers. I smile and greet every customer regardless of how they are dressed or what language they speak. Immigrant customers of all nationalities sometimes seem surprised that a white person would be so genuinely friendly.

WTF? It’s not only my jobs, it’s my personality.

There is one mother and daughter who shop regularly (in full robes, only faces showing) that are the most wonderful people. I’d never have had the opportunity of knowing that if I hadn’t: a-done my job and b-been sincere.

IMHO,The bigots are the ones losing-out.
