Fears

Many Americans who study the Middle East often complain about Arab suspicions of Americans who study the region. Those stories merely add to those suspicions. "Turbi's fears were echoed by other Muslims throughout Southern California last week. Some say a climate of suspicion toward them, fueled by 9/11 and underscored by the latest disclosures of FBI surveillance, is inhibiting their freedoms of speech and faith." (thanks Olivia)
