    The recent beheading of two Americans have added fuel to the angry backlash against Arab-Americans and Muslims that began after the 2001 terrorist attacks.

    Hate mail and vandalism against mosques have increased, see the article.

    I myself have recently experienced this in a minor form, I erased racist comments that somebody wrote on a flyer for an Islamic student club at Middlesex Community College. What the vandal said could be paraphrased as, "fuck you ragheaded extremists," of course the vandal didn't seem to write in complete sentances.

    what i tell most of my arab friends is, "welcome to america!" sadly, the racism comes with the territory. after all, how was this country founded? upon imperialism, racism, sexism, etc.

    That's how it works here, or should I say just about everywhere else. The system teaches people to hate other cultures and people who are different.

    "A man who dreads trials and difficulties cannot become a revolutionary. If he is to become a revolutionary with an indomitable fighting spirit, he must be tempered in the arduous struggle from his youth. As the saying goes, early training means more than late earning." - Kim Jong Il
