Prejudice

(Community Matters) This is increasingly heard in the US.  Prejudice against Muslims is rising around the world. Many of my Jewish friends worry and speak about Anti-semitism (especially in Europe), and yes, this is a concern. Perhaps why I find the anti-Muslim sentiment in emails sometimes forwarded to me especially disturbing. I don’t mean to promote political correctness. Broad national & racial biases can handicap us in many ways (& perhaps build self-fulfilling prophesies). Not to mention, that jingoism, even racism both have highly predictable outcomes, historically.
