Racism, in the USA, is yesterday's problem; militant Islam is what made race irrelevant in America on 9/12/01 and a few months after. Did you know that not one Arab was killed in retaliatory anger in the USA?
I seem to remember some mosque bombings and the like.

To my mind, militant Islamism is more of an offense to humanity than racism; and to offend people from other societies in the name of safety less of an offense than having thousands of people rudely killed in the name of a religious power grab.
So that justifies racism?

To expand on skunks point a little - I doubt there would be many more terorism-safe ways to travel by plane than on arabian airline full of muslims, not exactly a tempting target for islamic extremeists.

Bit of a side question but I know in that situation the first thing I'd do is go to the toilet and search it, throughly, for anything odd. How would others react?
