Once again Michael, would you provide a reference (even if it's
simply a website to the original news story) for your colleagues on this list?
For the NASCAR demonstration (I wouldn't call it an experiment...),
here are a few references:

I actually heard about this well before seeing the email from
Michael... I tend to agree with the view that "news" stories like
this are attempts to create news rather than report it... but I don't
exactly view Dateline NBC as a "news" show, so I'm not going to get
too worked up over it...
As for Michael's last comment... I think every religion has displayed
intolerance for other religions/groups at one time or another... but
I'm sure you could find a few recent news stories about people in the
middle-east demonstrating intolerance... In fact, isn't it a crime to
convert away from Islam in some countries? A crime punishable by
death? That to me seems a bit intolerant... not saying any other
group is any better and I wouldn't put all Arabs/Moslems into the
same category either... just like I wouldn't put all people living in
the southern US together in the same category... So, I don't see
Michael's last statement as inflammatory but rather a statement
concerning recent news reports that I've seen coming out of the middle-east...
