If I were at a rally and I saw a Muslim waving an American flag, I would 
instantly suspect that person of being a terrorist, strapped with bombs, 
ready to blow us all up, trying to ruse us with the facade of 
patriotism.   This is not to say that I'd jump that person or anything 
like that..  I'm a bit skiddish now, as are most people.  Sorry, Arab-
Americans, but your plight is an unfortunate side-effect of what your 
countrymen did to our civillians.
