re: #652 Alberta Oil Peon

And, if you will recollect, there was practically zero in the way of backlash against actual Arab-Americans in the days following 9/11. Practically zero. I seem to remember some poor Sikh cab driver who was beaten to death by some yo-yo who thought he was a Muslim, but widespread attacks against Muslims simply never happened, despite the best efforts of Jones and his ilk to find evidence to the contrary.

I recollect differently. Two convenience store owners within a mile of my house had to post signs on their doors saying that that they condemned the attacks. They were American citizens and they loved their country. They just happened to be Pakistanis at birth. There was intimidation all over the place. Ugly.
