And now this: A Delta Connection pilot refuses to fly with two Imams aboard who had been cleared by TSA. They were flying to Charlotte from Memphis to attend a conference on Islamophobia. WTF???

IMHO, that pilot should be summarily dismissed, his airline sued, and the Imams given free First Class flights on Delta for a year.

John Oliver's investigative reporting for the Daily Show revealed much about relations among religions.

Trouble notwithstanding, we reacted very well by historical standards, and far far better than either the ME or China would.
On subject though, it's why after debriefing Bush got the Bin Ladens outta here. It could have been ug-ly.

My ancestors changed my last name during ww1 because they were being prosecuted for being German (my last name is Czech)(or was anyway). I don't know exactly what happened, but reading have found beatings, no work, run out of towns common.
I'm not saying it was right. But far, far, far better than most.

We still have room to improve, and we should continue to work on it.
