Oh I agree Netta. I work with many Arab-Americans and know many others. Saleem told me the other day they had a police escort to go to Mosk. The thought someone must be protected to go pray is sad. My office is very diverse, we have people from many countries working there. We celebate the diversity with many functions.
Some people are so narrow minded. I have been fighting with my own mother over this issue. She has that attitude of well no need to condemn them all but you should be cautious of your friendships with them. I tried to explain the religion and beliefs of those few extremeists are not what the majority feel.
It is so sad when an entire heritage is judged because of the actions of a few.
The anger they are feeling is being directed to innocent people. Im so sorry that this is happening.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
