The valedictorian at our high school (Live Oak in Morgan Hill) was from Iran. Everyone admired him. Amazing work ethic. At the union shop where I work, we have a pair of Afghani brothers and a Pakistani foreman, who are all longtime employees. If I ask the people around me about it, they recognize that the extremists are just that - extremists and not representative of Islamic people.

Media has a way of spreading that message everywhere, and with constant drilling into unwary suspects' minds, works to reinforce this stuff as not only valid, but even as some sort of truth. Cuz the guy on the radio says so. Even the Bay Area is not immune to this.
