Just as to you "good ole boys" are all the same. At least you aren't violent about it like all of them there boys are.
Phoenix is a pretty nice town though.

Hasan, whose family said he was born in suburban Washington, is single with no children. He graduated from Virginia Tech, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001 and was at Walter Reed for six years for his internship, residency and a fellowship.
Please, elaborate, because I fail to see how my statement could possibly lead you to the conclusion that I am racist.
I've noticed the same racist bigots will react and attack anyone with a turban because they assume they are Islamic or beat up Indian Hindus because their names sound "Muslim-like" In 2001, a Sikh was shot and killed by a redneck because the moron thought he was Muslim. Great, anyone who looks Arabic is going to get beat up now. I'm half Hispanic half Caucasian and I know I'm going to get evil stares and harrassed just like what happened around 9/11. It took almost 3 years before the bigots calmed down
Redneck. Ironic that you condemn one form of bigotry by using another.
They have already sent out police officers to some of the mosques around the area the shooting happened and many Muslim groups fear a backlash.
If only people would look at the person instead of the religion. There are plenty of great Muslim people living in this country that are just trying to live their day to day lives.
Honestly, how many of your friends can honestly see a Sikh and recognize they are Sikh and not an Islamic fundamentalist or see an Indian and know that most are Hindus and not Muslims? I'm sure you can but what about your friends?
Thanks for judging my friends, calling them racist and such. I'm glad you have such insight into people you have never met(have you?)
