And I ...Thanks as always for the post to your site. And I actually had it as Sikh and Muslim in the original draft, but changed it because of the situation in Russia/Ukraine. Truth remains.

Cross posted and linked at Poodyheads.<br />The daughter of a friend of mine (the friends are Arab Christians) had her wrist broken by a bunch of young people during the first Gulf War. Because she was of Arabic extraction. <br />Another acquaintance, a Sikh from India who wears the traditional Sikh turban, has been yelled at and harassed because, OMG! He wears a turban, he must be an Arab terrorist!<br />Not that it is acceptable to discriminate against Arab or other Middle Eastern Muslims, either.<br />People are idiots. We have a friend who says "People are a near miss."<br />I would extend that to say that people are a far miss. :-(<br />Zorbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292088483911860745noreply@blogger.com
