7. You realize that "Muslim" is a code word
for "brown skinned". That's what they are really afraid of. You can see it in their faces, hear it in their voices. When my boss came in spewing nonsense about Obama being Muslim and being sworn in on a Qur'an, I attempted to correct him, and he shouted me down. But I noticed that the next time he talked politics with someone, he took them out of the office and discussed things in whispers. I think he was afraid I'd correct him with the truth again--and some people would rather live with their delusions.
