We wouldn't even be having this conversation if it wasn't for actions occuring in the Middle East. The Middle East is the core of being a Muslim, no matter where you are in the world you face the Middle East, dude.
You don't have to be a hardline fanatic to have skepticism about the sincerity of a Bush government, or anyone who would allign themselves with the US Government policies. It simply goes against
everything being taught in Muslim communities of EVERY stripe.
Hate crimes are up against Jews too. What's your point?
Angpur - If it's not about skin color, then we might as well train our existing State employees to speak Arabic, and understand the culture. I'd say that would do more good for everyone then a few token hirings.
