You know, just because the majority of you only think "Oh, from the Middle East" doesn't mean that everyone does. I have a few friends that would automatically think of 9/11.

Like she said, FIRST IMPRESSION. People who revert to Osama Bin Laden or Saddam probably can't help it. Seeing a Mulism may jog the memory of having Muslim attacks on the US, not too long ago. It's not necessarily prejudice, but it's not right, either.

that they're arab?
are you trying to imply that if you see someone like that on the street, they're some kind of terrorist about to bomb the country? *cough* prejudice *Cough*

if you're not trying to offend anyone, why the hell would you create this topic?!

I created this topic because i wanted to know how others think.. I watched this show last night, 30 Days. (here's a news about it 30 Days or go to theofficial website). If u saw it u would understand why I made this topic.. once again sorry to offend anyone.. but please dont take this the wrong way. I'm no racist, ignorant nor prejudice you can ask anyone who kno me, if u don't believe me...
