Sal, Salaam Alechem. Unfortunately, many folks here have no idea what it is to be a Muslim, or Hindu or Buddhist, or Confucian. Or, in my case, an agnostic. The 'American Dream' was founded on now obsolete white folks' Christian beliefs, circa 1950, and all this influx of 'ferners' of darker skin colorings are freaking da dikkens out of them. Just look at the 'immigrant dilemma'. A storm in a teacup, says aye.
Remember: sticks and stones can break your bones, but words....... like water on a duck's back, they just roll right off and 'be gone'.
