It's easy to be self-righteous as a Christian in a Judeo-Christian society. I'd like to hear from Muslims about your worst post 9/11 experience. I'd also like to know if you think stereotypes have lessened since 9/11?

not a muslim, sorry..but I have also been affected by 9/11, I am terrified everytime a plane goes overhead,I watch CNN like an addict, and sadly I find myself stereotyping muslims. I know that it isn't right, trust me I know that, but still, I get nervous and scared when I am on a plane with anyone that looks even remotely middle eastern. I am not proud of that, I do not consider myself a racist, but it is difficult to get over what happened on 9/11, to not fear people that are willing to die just to harm our country. I am also not proud of my government, and the way that we act twards muslim countries. I just think that when you witness something as tragic and horrible as 9/11, it stays with you, just like rape survivors have a hard time getting close to men, it's just instinct. It's a protective instinct, I want my children to be safe, and if that means being suspicious of people, I just can't help it....

911 was designed by the pigs and apes, the phallic and tyrant worshipers, the scum of the earth, to achieve just that.
When people and nations live in darkness, they lose sense of direction. In an information age, knowledge–driven global culture of reason, ignorance is no longer a requisite to learn from the living history. The previous Empires knew their geography and limits, but the newly articulated American Empire in its infancy, is challenging to the limits of the Laws of God and appears obsessed with “fear” of being replaced by the new emerging nations of Asia and South America. Bush invoked the “War on Islam”, as a dictum of power, not reason and wisdom, to camouflage the prospective future with acts of barbarity and to dispel the notion of accountability in global affairs. Historically, people and nations pursuing this path of behavior have ended up in self-defeat and self-destruction.
The 9/11 attacks and religious doctrines have no common ground. Hourly paid intellectuals turned guardian of approved truth, allege that Islam breeds terrorism. The Western mass media complements the scientifically discovered notion to poison the public perceptions and source of judgments against the Arabs and Muslims. The Neo-Conservatives helped to rob the humanity of its human heritage. The perception of ‘radical Islam’ was invented and enhanced by the ‘fear’ of terrorism and as a precursor to attack Muslims.
But, be under no illusion, Muslims do answer back with the language the Bushites understand. Tune in to the right channels and, watch with awe and wonder.

Well I am half Arab but you can't tell. I am also Muslim and it has been rough for my loved ones. People have harrassed my muslim and Arab friends. It is heartbreaking how people look at them and treat them.
