The stange thing is before September 11th, I don't think many Americans would have looked at you the way they do. Maybe they did and I just never realized it because that was not how I viewed Muslims. I have been quilty of this and I don't like it. I want to judge each individaul for who they are and not for how they dress or their religion. I am sorry that you faced so much discrimination in a land where we profess to be the land of the free.
