Islamophobia
Do you remember when back in June of 2005 I wrote a post about having seen a couple of Muslim guys in the train station with a big black bag?
There's a small follow up on this story. I recently found this site that was linked to the post in question and it's in Arabic. So what do I make of this? Wouldn't it be better that I understand what is being said about my blog?
They took all my text and pasted it on their own group page, without my permission. So....if you know anyone that can read Arabic, please show em this post and IF they could..... translate what's at the bottom. I ask this because it's better to know before I start coming to my own conclusions. They may very well be complimenting me for the way I looked at the incident at that time.
Who knows...
P.S. The photos and incident were submitted to New York City specialized people in such cases. I was interviewed and printed out the pics for them. They were quite thankful and it was interesting being around them and hearing all the other "tips" they get.

lol !! oh my gawd ..you done did it now jeffers ...
Dang, I'm glad I live in the rural south where you can tell the crazies right off the bat and they all speak english. Well, most of them, we do have the illegal alien thing going on. Hope it all turns out to be nothing
This would make me even more paranoid...what are they saying anyway?
Hey Jeff!
What up :-)
Well they may be commenting on how sometimes peple are misunderstood based on their looks and based on the image they portray. It will be interesting to find out. It must be tough to look "typically" Muslim (though I am not sure what that would be exactly) and to have people be suspicious of you. At the same time, people have the right to go with their instinct and protect themselves.
Hope youare keeping well! Looks like you and I have both not been blogging for a while! Life...
keep well and hope to see you in my blog space soon :-)
