Okay, I didn't get a response to my request to post links in the messages. I am going to post the link to my blog that outlines what happened a few weeks ago in Manhattan. If this is not allowed, the moderators can tell me and I will remove the link.

This woman bumped into me on purpose and then screamed racial epithets at me. This is what really got me interested in Islam. I'm not sure people would want to read this because obviously you do not know me, but I would like to know if other Arabs have experienced this. New York is supposed to be a diverse place. This encounter was shocking.
People in the area identified the woman. As I mentioned, authorities told us that racial epithets are "first amendment." This made me very angry.
I've been reading the Koran for guidance. Truth be told it offers little comfort when the authorities do not take tangible action.
