Please understand that the consequences of tuesday spread far beyond the shores of the US. I am British and as such have been all too familiar with the effects of terrorism in this and other attacks.
However, I have very never heard of threats against people of Irish decent because of the acts of the IRA. This is because we brits in general accept that Irish folks are nice folks.
The Muslim faith isn't any more responsible responsible for the attacks than the irish are for the attacks of the IRA.
It is a lack of understanding that brews hate. I know a guy from Lebanon, he's a nice bloke and we have been Scuba diving together quite a few times. I have to say that before I knew him my opinion of Lebanese people was not good. My opinion now is better though I accept that as in many Arab countries there are fundamentalist in Lebenon.
Think global, understand people and in general try to make friends and accept people, not make enemies and try and change people.
