Arab-Americans Fear Backlash
Arab-American and Muslim leaders in the United States quickly
condemned the brutal terrorist attacks on America, and they are now
pleading with Americans not to take out their anger on Arabs in this
country. But the Associated Press reports that those pleas are not
being heeded by all, especially as U.S. authorities focus on exiled
Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden as their prime suspect. In a number of
Internet chat rooms, people have made racial slurs against Arabs.
(Note: Such hate talk is not tolerated on CompuServe.) Death threats,
obscenities, and racial slurs have been made in phone calls to Arab
and Muslim groups based in Washington, Los Angeles, and San Jose.
Vitriolic insults were shouted on a street in Chicago. A group of men
allegedly threatened to burn down a mosque in a Colorado town.
"Regardless of who is ultimately found to be responsible for these
terrorist murders, no ethnic or religious community should be treated
as suspect and collectively blamed," the Arab American Institute said
in a statement after receiving at least a dozen phone calls with such
messages as "you will pay for this" and "go home." "We have friends
and family who work in that building, the World Trade Center. We have
family and friends that worked at the Pentagon," said James Zogby,
president of the Arab American Institute. "While we would like to
mourn like everybody else in America, we end up looking over our
shoulder because someone is pointing a finger." --Cathryn Conroy

A mi' no me vengas a engalanar con insultos gratuitos por mis ideas
poli'ticas, me entiendes? Yo no le deseo el mal a ningu'n inocente,
no importa su religio'n o falta de religio'n.
En cambio tu', que usas esta tragedia para atizar la xenofobia boricua
contra el americano y mezclarnos con los xenofobos del continente,
eres un DESCARADO.
Tu' tambie'n vete pa'l carajo.
