HOURS after the World Trade Centre attacks on Tuesday, the Islamic
Institute of New York received a telephone call threatening its 450
pupils, the manager, Azam Meshkat, said.
"The gentleman said he was going to paint the streets with our
children’s blood," she said. The school is closed, but continues to
receive several threats a day. Meanwhile, a mosque in Texas was
firebombed, and another in Washington state had its sign defaced.
In Huntington, New York, police said a 75-year-old man tried to run over
a Pakistani woman in a shopping mall car park.
Khaled Ksaibati, of the University of Wyoming, described the attack on a
Muslim family at a Wal-Mart. "The people who screamed in her face wanted
her to go back to her country," he said. "This is her country. She was
born here."
In a suburb of Chicago, police stopped 300 marchers as they tried to
march on a mosque.

Rampage: killer gunman
A GUNMAN in Phoenix went on a rampage against people who looked of
Middle Eastern descent, police said yesterday.
The white man in a truck shot and killed a petrol station owner, who was
an Indian immigrant. He then drove to a second station and fired
repeatedly through a window without hitting the clerk, who is of
Lebanese descent.
The man then went to a house of a family of Afghani origin, where he
fired several shots. No-one was injured at the last two locations, said
Sergeant Mike Goulet, a police spokesman in Mesa, just east of Phoenix.
Frank Roque, 42, was arrested late on Saturday in connection with the
shootings at the second gas station and house, said Sgt Goulet. He faces
two counts of attempted first-degree murder, but has not been charged
with killing the gas station owner, Balbir Singh Sodhi.
As Roque was handcuffed, he shouted, "I stand for America all the way,"
the East Valley Tribune reported.

Comment: Dubya hasn’t actually encouraged such race-hate crimes but nor
does he seem to have discouraged such barbarity; he just further stirred
up the anger of the American people beyond that which they already felt
as the result of the terrorist outrages of last Tuesday. To put it
mildly, his rhetoric seemed redundant even at the time; he should have
sought to pacify his people, not add needlessly to their anger.

Fairly understandable but insupportable hostility towards Muslims snipped.

Bollox. ""Our nation must be mindful that there are thousands of Arab-Americans who live
in New York who love their flag just as much as the three of us," said Bush….we treat
Arab-Americans and Muslims with the respect they deserve."

This is a blatant lie. He has done the opposite. He has called for restraint, refused to
blame groups and reminding Americans that Arab and Muslim Americans are as patriotic as
the President himself.

What rhetoric? Please post a single example. You are divorced form the facts either
through ignorance or self-deception. Bush has earned international and domestic praise for
his handling of the situation.

This is news for you ? I thought everybody already knew that
a large portion of the people in the US are really uneducated
and stupid. Don’t get me wrong, I like the US very much,
and I would rather live there than say, in Britain, but none
of these stories is a big surprise for me. It was a surprise
for you ? Well, then that means you know very little about
the US. It’s got its good points and its bad points, for
sure. Other countries do too.

No, but I thought that it might be news to some folk whilst, for those
who already knew of such knuckle-dragging stupidity, it might be news
for them to see how the blind bigotry of America is reported overseas.
To those who have sought to defend Bush, I would say this: it was less
than statesmanlike of Bush to have stirred up the patriotic pride of the
American people without at the same time warning them not to inflict
harm on innocent people of similar ethnicity to the terrorists. Even
though he may have spoken later of such matters, those speeches seem not
to have been considered as newsworthy and not given quite the same
coverage as his earlier comments. If they were screened across America
at all, they were probably shown at a time when the knuckle-draggers
were already out terrifying innocent folk of Arabic extraction.

His speeches have been broadcast wholely and repeatedly acoss the US with
warnings from the beginning not to harm innocent people. From a population
of 260 million it’s inevitable you’ll find some hotheads who equate Moslems
with terrorists. You described one protest march and several isolated
incidents and conclude every American is behaving this way.
