I have decided to break silence because I'm sick of racism, stupidity, revenge and so on. And those americans who have attacked and sieged their arabian american neighbours show they get what they deserve each time one of them is killed or attacked, in spite of my refusal to this way of acting.

Dear Friends,

    There has been no backlash agains Arab or Muslim Americans because of the World Trade Center and Pentagon disasters, only a few scattered incidents that were publicized because they were novel, not because they were common. The incidents were of the shouting and fist fight variety, not murder and arson. Keep this in perspective.

   I have an Arab Palestinian neighbor and we have gotten along fine for 20 years, Thank You. I talked to his daughter this morning and she said that her family has been glued to the news, just as we have.

   Do not jump to conclusions of Racism based upon a few news reports. The victim lists, when they come out, will show names from all over the world, including from Arab and other Islamic countries. You must remember that the states that support terrorism, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan are all dictatorships and police states. These groups are used domestically by these regimes to "take care of" their internal opposition.

   There will soon be a firestorm directed at the terrorists and their infrastructure throughout these rogue states. There will be no more million dollar cruise missiles launched at tents in the deserts. President Bush is duplicating the Gulf War Coalition as we speak while mobilizing forces in the Indian Ocean. It will be a "You are either with us or you are against us moment"
