I'm not religious (agnostic) but I've been part of an ethnic minority all my life. Prejudice isn't that bad in Holland I guess but every remark, every stare is one too many for me. Perhaps I'm over-sensitive.
All I'm saying is I empathize with the kind of hell the British muslims and muslims in Europe in general are going through right now. And it will get worse.
Muslims today are like the Jews of old. They're pretty much blamed for anything that goes wrong.
I also have a bad feeling about who's responsible for these terrorist attacks. Who stands to gain from these attacks? Al Qaida? Muslims in general? Don't make me laugh. Bush and Blair stand to gain from a fear-stricken population. But nobody will believe their governments would lie to them. Or worse.
