I feel like these takes are getting more unhinged with each passing month.

    Sort of, except 9/11 was even worse. There was extreme anti-arab racism and Islamophobia. If you were arab you were a terrorist. It was all over the media. There were calls to ban burkas and Islam in schools and I recall hearing stories on the new of people going ip to Muslim women and ripping their face covers off.

    Have you seen that episode of South Park with Osama Bin Ladin?

      If you were arab you were a terrorist.

      And if you had skin darker than pasty-white, you were an arab.

      Those were dark times. The incompetent clown show running the USA today pales in comparison to the pure evil of the PNAC crowd. They were dangerously competent.
