LOL, you people are unbelievable. A small number of RADICAL Islamic fundamentalists have taken arms to fight for their beliefs, and the WHOLE of the Muslim nation of over 1 BILLION people are stigmatised by Americans. Now it is every person that follows the Muslim religion that who is guilty and not just the individuals that break US law. Your attitude disgusts me.

Justus2 LOL
It isn't even proven that Arabs were involved. But even if a hundred were, you want to hate 1 Billion people. Have a great life.

Do any of you here have an education?
You know from all these answers that the answer is yes, it is equivilant. I asked my teacher who is american this question and she told me that almost every american she knows believes that arabs lie, cheat, and steal and every Summer she goes back to the U.S. to prove them wrong. Any arab I know who travels to the U.S. is looked down upon and surprisingly gets "a random check", I dont blame the citizens for this ignorance i blame the government that doesnt educate them on our part of the world.

No, but it may get as bad as American bigotry towards German immigrants during WWII (my grandfather had major difficulty getting work because he spoke broken English despite being born here). It doesn't help when Muslim groups decide out-of-the-blue to discriminate against Americans in their own country! Imagine getting to the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport and being refused cab transport because you have a bottle of wine in your bag. Or worse, have a seeing eye dog! I mean people, let's get another job if we can't do our job especially when it involves serving the public.
Just like pharmacists who have issues with issuing birth control pills or morning after pills. If you can't do your job, quit. This is a free country! There are many jobs that don't involve your religious dispute with American laws.

No, it's more like American bigotry against the Japanese in WWII. Is it right? Probably not. Is it natural to hate people that hate you and want to kill you? You betcha.
You also fail to differentiate between Arabs and Muslim extremists, which is a BIG difference.

No, last I checked Americans weren't dragging Arabs to detention camps like the Germans did the Nazi's.
You have the nerve to talk about people judging the masses for the action of the few? Read your own question.

No, we don't like any group that terrorizes us, and feel the Muslims need to speak out more against radical Islamic terrorism. The Jews weren't killing the Germans before WW2 in mass suicidal bombings, there is no comparison.

Well, were just scared since 9-11...so we just have that in our memory that Arabs=bad. That is NOTHING compared to the holocaust. I mean we aren't killing and mistreating millions upon millions of Arabs on our own soil.

I have yet to see mass concentration camps of Muslims or Arabs in the US. There is no comparison whatsoever.

No, don't be silly. Americans are not bigoted against the Arabs.

Well considering the Jews weren't flying planes into buildings, cutting off the heads of journalists and contractors, strapping bombs to their chest and detonating them in publica places or killing service members and desicrating their bodies, I'd have to say
NO!
