Default Arab-looking or Islamic people being singled out according to MSNBC

This is a little disturbing. Seems that "Authorities also were rounding up Islamic fundamentalists elsewhere, apparently without evidence they were connected to the attacks." No specifics on where this is happening, though.

I am outraged and terribly saddened by recent events, but we as a nation and as individuals need to be careful in how we direct our rightful anger.

I saw an airliner go overhead today as I was on my way to work, and I found myself watching it nervously. A week ago, I would have paid it no mind. Now I found myself wondering if it would veer towards the ground. <ul><li><a href="http://www.msnbc.com/news/628563_asp.htm">http://www.msnbc.com/news/628563_asp.htm</a</li></ul>

Default My thought

I know its bad, and I don't condone it at all...They are Americans or peacefull people as well..

But given the light of current events, I would think they would ask for escorts or such.. Call the local police and let them know they are of Arabic decent and need escort. That was no one gets crazy and they get themselves protected..

I think they need to understand that a lot of people are scared right now.. Damn I even got scared when I heard a plane fly overheard today... I did not think that would ever happen..
