About a year after 9/11 I remember sitting next to a guy on a plane  
who was wearing "Muslim Garb", had his Koran open and silently prayed  
and read the Koran quietly during the whole trip.  I also remember  
sitting next to a middle aged white lady shortly thereafter who  
clutched her Bible and read and prayed as well.  I think they were  
probably both afraid of flying and where trying to cope using their  
own religion.  Nobody took notice of the latter lady, but there sure  
were a lot of stares and eyes watching the gentleman sitting next to  
me the entire trip.  I felt a bit embarrassed for him.
