The Question I just asked was meant to show those who hate every single Muslim for what few do that everyone was harmed. And still are being harmed.

"Or imagine being Baraheen Ashrafi, nine months pregnant with her second child. Her husband, Mohammad Chowdhury, was a waiter at Windows of the World restaurant, on the top floors of Tower One. The morning of September 11, they prayed salaat-l-fajr (the pre-dawn prayer) together, and he went off to work. She never saw him again. Their son, Farqad, was born 48 hours after the attacks -- one of the first 9/11 orphans to be born. In an interview with CTV Canada, she relates that in the months to follow, she mourned for her husband and endured the hostility of some ignorant people around her. "When they saw me ... I'm wearing a scarf. There is a hate look."

Uhhh, this isn't about me. My husband is alive and here with me. This happened to another woman. And my baby was born where we can do anything we want. We are from the US. My ancestors came to the US from Germany and Ireland long ago.

Quote.... "When they saw me ... I'm wearing a scarf. There is a hate look."

Oh my God, how sad....

'Think before you speak' applies here very well.....

To 'Fancy That' above me.... Well, I have lived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for over 20 years and we had Western women parading around in Bikini's and Shorts in the residential compound where I lived... no problem and no questions asked. Please don't say anything unless you've seen it with your own eyes.

To 'Fancy That'... Yes, things are positively changing in Saudi Arabia... they're not perfect as a Muslim country (they have flaws like any other country), I will admit that.... but I just wanted to point out that living there is not as horrible as reported by the media. You might to ask for opinions of some of my Western teachers in Saudi.... they learned to actually love the country after living some years.

bodily and mentally, the human race hasn't replaced very lots interior the previous 3000 years, so the subsequent 3000 shouldn't recent any radical variations.... perhaps somewhat extra disease and pollutants resistance, somewhat much less actual power and digestive means. Technologically, the diversities and advances over he direction of 3000 years have been sluggish and slow, with in user-friendly terms a short surge interior the previous 2 hundred or so years.... this could be a fad or the end results of a few ingredient like inhabitants rigidity. If there are any extreme variations interior the subsequent 3000 years, they are going to be technological, no longer actual or psychological. English will, of direction, disappear... its an rather awkward language that has in no way completed stability, and because being observed by united statesa., a literal melting pot of assorted cultures, it has substitute into further bastardized by issues like Ebonics and Spanglish... try analyzing the unique Shakespeare or the King James Bible working example... and the problem with the language is accelerating using digital media... it will be unrecognizable, a historic artifact, in yet another hundred years

Be thankful your baby was born in a country where you can wear anything you want, say anything you want. I'm very sorry for the loss of your husband, the 9/11 attack has made me a little leary of the veils and turbans as well, so should you.

Well, If I went to Saudi Araba in my street clothes, knee length skirt and colorful top. My hair done and make up on, what do you think the reaction would be. Seriously now.

See, the sword of intolerance swings both ways. It's just how some people are because their souls are immature at this point.

Nashu,
And I'll be those ladies in bikinis got some pretty good hate stares themselves.
From what I've been told by first hand accounts, that some women have been hit in the legs in public by zealots in Saudi for wearing shorts. I also remember a few years back where there was a fire in a girls school and all the girls were sent back in to put on their head scarfs, and they all died.

Have things changed that radically in that region in just a few years?

why do you seem more upset about some guy who gave a muslim lady a dirty look, than you are about the kind of a$#holes that killed her husband?

I agree with you and all, people are people, and I'll be there for anyone regardless as we are all brothers in my book regardless of this or that.

But let's get our priorities straight. A guy who does not like muslims and gives them dirty looks is the least of our problems when compared with people who like to blow up dump trucks full of nails.
Let's focus our energy on them.
I would like to see a big post by a muslim on this board complaining about how the Taliban are a bunch of a$#holes.
Once we can all agree on that we will have some unity.

So all people, or all religions and ethnic groups, as one, on three.....1 ..2..3 The taliban are a$#hole goat %^$Eers.
Ya! Now you and the guy with the dirty looks have common ground.

I missed your last question...

hateful prejudice is a very evil thing, you have no argument from me on that.

unfortunately it only takes a handful of radicals and a lot a bad press to incite mass hatred. and the press feeds on carnage.
