When I was younger, my best friend's last name was Hassan and she really got some nasty comments during the Gulf War. But she was Christian, not Muslim.

I only knew Christians, Athiests and Sikhs as a child (and only one family of Sikhs), but never really thought too much about religion - only the athiests did that, and then only to attack people with any belief. Cripes, Americans are scarey when they believe they are thinking. Why are these people not able to make connections? I guess those who are won't appear on these shows as it just makes everyoe look bad, or didn't say anything controversial enough.
