Re: More misunderstandings?

Good point. We have to be very careful about the "Let's get the rag-heads" mentality. My neighbor (Iranian) usta alwas get a big hassle every time he flew outa Logan. We usta joke about it. His wife said, "Typical Iranian male. Vain. Always looking in the mirror. Needs a shave 30 minutes after he shaves." Now its no longer funny and its going to be a serious issue for him. These folks are as American as Mayflower decendants in my mind.

And as to Sikhs, those guys are more different from Islamic fundamentalists than an IRA member is from the head of the Protestant brigade in England. Its our ignorance of other cultures that lumps "all them feriners" together.
