I saw a new broadcast this morning (Boston)....On Good Day America.....
As unfortunately expected retalliation is being brought against those of Arabic Decent in the Boston Area. Those who were born and raised here. Those, who also, may have had a loved one or new of someone parished in the WTC crisis. The individual speaking was of Arabic decent. He said, during this week co-workers whom he was close with will only give him a "distant" hello. While, in Boston, he said most stores owned by Arabic people are closed due to threats and violence. PLEASE, let's not turn this into a civil war as well. Tim McVeigh was an American...yet we don't look at all Americans as scum. The same should apply in this case. These people are suffering as well, maybe more because they are being shunned from the support of the citizens of the US. This is wrong. Yes....there are, FOR SURE, ARABS amoung us who mean harm to this nation. But, we cannot look at everyone of them among us and automatically pass judgement. Officials are doing well at their job. Those that are in anyway involved.........we'll get them. May God of mercy on them....'cause we sure won't. But keep in mind those Arabs who are innocent and feeling this pain as well. Can you distinguish the good from the bad......no. Can you distinguish a good american from a bad on.......no. I make this post, because of the tears in this man's eyes this morning.....his pain. And nobody will comfort him, except those of his "own" kind. So, please, as you walk the streets of Boston, or whereever.......just bare this in mind.
