I, for one, would like evidence that anyone said anything of the sort and that this is the dominant message in his town. For pity's sake.

I have no intention of getting into a debate over this topic, it's OT, but this kind of nonsense gives us a bad name if we are willing to believe everything we read simply because it plays on our stereotypes and prejudices.

terrorist acts.

I live in an extremely liberal university town, and the current belief is that "white wealthy males" are to blame for the attack on the WTC. Also, any retaliation against the attackers is viewed as "typical patriarchal cowardice".
