Re: NPR fires Williams over Muslim fears » GetReligion

OK, I'll state the glaringly obvious.

NO middle aged white ladies clutching bibles flew planes into buildings or 
attempted to set shoes/underwear on fire on a plane or shot fellow soldiers at a 
military base, or tried smuggling bomb making materials into the US, or set off 
explosives on a British subway,or blew up Spanish trains.

That doesn't mean that all muslim guys will do those things either but 
statistically it is more likely based on verifiable data.

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.
