This happened in an elevator, we were trapped alone with him and his friend. It was frightening.
I strongly believe that people shouldn't be judged by the actions of their governments, or their religious leaders, or fringe fanatics within their religion.

yeah, that sucks. kinda like after 9/11 how some muslims got harrassed and beaten...our places of worship vandalized, threatening phone calls, people giving you dirty looks based on your looks or name. not getting hired for jobs based on your name. it's not fun. and unfortunately you 2 had a taste of what many people in the usa have to go thru daily. but what can you do?
