Wal-Mart Stores Inc. apologized to a Muslim woman who said she was
mocked because of her face veil.

"Please don't stick me up," a cashier told the shopper on Feb. 2,
according to The Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Wal-Mart apologized Monday in a letter signed by Rolando Rodriquez, a
vice president and regional general manager. It was released Tuesday
by the council's Nevada chapter.

"I can assure you that the associate in question was disciplined in
accordance with our employment policies as a result of the situation,"
Rodriguez said without disclosing details.

Rodriguez said employees at the Riverdale store would undergo
"sensitivity training," specifically in the Islamic faith and Muslim
culture.

At Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., spokesman Phillip Keene
confirmed the letter and declined further comment.

"We applaud Wal-Mart for taking appropriate action to resolve this
incident," said Yasser Moten, executive director of the council's
Nevada chapter. The group doesn't have an office in Utah.

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge
while awaiting their flights in Bozeman, Montana, .

One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer. Another is a
Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show and the third
passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana
State University from the Middle East .

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two
Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the
conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine
table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind
outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping;
but still no plane comes.

Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "
At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my People
were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"

The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and
from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl, "That's 'cause we
ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'."

Also, could this person be an actual US citizen? I don't recall a

I confess, when I was younger and lived in a city with only a sprinkle of
minorities except for Mexican Americans, I too wondered what all the fuss
was about. Then I moved to Houston 34 years ago and that is when my
perception changed. Remember I started out thinking, what's the problem.
I continue to judge an individual that I meet with a clean slate. I draw
the line when laws are broken and unfortunately some nationalities tend to
break the law more often than others. This casts a bad light on the group
as a whole when you seldom hear anything good about a particular race.
Houston is a very diverse group of races. Predominately, Mexican, Black,
White, Asian, and Middle Easterners.
With out a doubt the race that complains the least, tries the hardest to fit
in, and the one that you do not see as often on the news involved in a
crime, are the Asians. When they first started arriving in numbers there
was resentment towards them for a very brief period of time however they
have earned respect and IMHO are some of the best neighbors.
Most all the other minorities in Houston want to take back Texas,
reparations, or be exempt from our laws.
And then there are those, "all races", that want to remove "God in public
places and Government buildings, from all of our lives.

Sure, but let me restate laws as being customs. Our laws are simply being
twisted and manipulated.

And keep in mind that when I say Muslims I did not and do not mean all
Muslims. But a group of Moslems played a large roll in the recons I list
below. I also realize that "all" races have their problems and are viewed
similarly in other countries. I judge individuals on an individual basis
but birds of a feather tend to flock together.

Can you simply get on board an airplane most anywhere in the US and the
rest of the world and not go through a line to be sniffed and scanned? Why
can't I wear a mask inside a bank? Why, in spite of dress codes, are some
people allowed to disregard the dress code and dress a certain way because
of their religion when GOD has supposedly been removed from most of our
public schools? Why are they exempt form having GOD removed from their
education?

Now there are "Special" hate crimes".
These have especially became up front and center since 911. Why does a
particular crime towards a particular race have a special upgrade in
punishment. Why is a crime against one race far worse in punishment than
when it is against another? Don't get me wrong, I think all crimes against
any one or race is a hate crime but apparently crimes against some people
are exempt from being classified a hate crime.

Why is there still a group called the KKK?

I don't believe in certain groups of people having special privileges and I
don't believe that all Muslims are evil or have hate in their hearts but
many do and right now because of what some Moslems have done, the rest of
the Moslems are cast in the same light. "Every" race has its skeletons
and every race has a reason for it's actions and beliefs.

My first ever photo ID was a passport. At the time, drivers'
licenses
did not have photos on them.

As they became more popular at least one state Missouri continued
to issue non-photo licenses to people who objected on religious
grounds. Those people by and large were Christian.

American law and custom is filled with exemptions for religious
belief. Regarding conscription, members of some religious sects
easily qualified for conscientious objector status while others
had to prove deep seated personal, moral belief against war.

Separation of church and state is a conundrum. If churches
are taxed, then church and state are not separate. If churches
are not taxed, the state is showing favoritism to religion.

There is no solution. We just have to muddle through as best we
can.

If only we could let common sense play a more prominent role we would all be
better off. Unfortunately everything has to be adjusted so that no one is
offended. We are in a process that is certainly numbing out society. Most
of us are adult and should realize by now that the world is not a fair and

down the system so that the undeserving have equal opportunity. Respect is

How far back does the white side of my family get to count, with a
Selfe landing here, supposedly, in 1654. I would guess not too much
later, one of his female get got jumped by a Choctaw or some such, so
there's the "native" American side, too. Been around a bit. That's 17
generations since the Brits ran one of my ancestors out, so I'd guess
great, great, great, great...it ain't worth it!

One of the things that seriously disturbs me about Islam is the lack
of encouragement by the more moderate religious leaders of any kind of
learning outside their own schools. Some of those schools are pretty
good, but, for the most part, far too many seem to be devoted to
extremist Muslim theology. That worries me even more than screwball
fundamentalist Christians, who, at least most of the time, run into
limits imposed by those who are more moderate, something I have yet to
see happen in the modern Islamic world. I find it hard to imagine even
Jerry Falwell calling jihad on Larry Flynt, with five million bucks
for his death. If something like that were tried, say by the still
living Pat Robertson who is as close to a true nut as there is on the
public scene today, it wouldn't take long for him to be shouted into
oblivion.

How about your grandparents?

My grandparents? Both grandparents on both sides were born in the USA. My
great grand father on my mothers side came to the US from Germany when he
was 14.

He didn't come across that way to me.

Neither did Leon come across to me that way.

Nor to me.

I don't think I agree with Leon on this
one, but he hasn't shown any racist
tendencies that I can see.

Why is there still a group called the KKK?

Why does someone refer to a comment about religion as 'racist'?

Calling all (putative) bigotry 'racism' is like calling all crime
'robbery'.


It's a buzz-word. If you're a person of minimum intellect, inappropriate
is not a problem. Hell, I remember about tumbling over when the NPR "Morning
Edition" folks referred to the "right-wing" Communists back in the Yeltsin
days.

Of course, to them, only the right was bad....

WE are losing it.

Sounds like you are a youngsterG.

My grandfather, born in 1848, emigrated from Germany as a young man,
on a dare from his sister, who was already here.

Rest of the grandparents were from the same period.

My mother at 103, is the last surviving member of the 1st generation
born in the USA
