Racist attacks against Arabs or people of Arabic descent have increased around the world. In addition to the Afghan taxi driver being reported by BBC to have been paralyzed after an attack in London, over the last few days in New York, a caller threatened to harm hundreds of students in an Islamic school. In Texas, a mosque was firebombed. In Wyoming, an angry group of shoppers chased a woman and her children from a Wal-Mart. In Bridgeview, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, police stopped 300 marchers as they tried to march on a mosque. Around the nation, Muslim and Arab communities say they are being targeted, and the anger is nationwide. India said yesterday it’s asked the United States to take steps to prevent attacks on Sikhs living in the United States after last week’s attacks on Washington and New York.
