Again from the WSJ "Amid such incidents, "the Muslim community in America is feeling prejudice against it, and it's not fair," said Rabbi John Rosove of Temple Israel of Hollywood in Los Angeles. Mr. Rosove has been part of a Muslim-Jewish dialogue group in Los Angeles that has had its own tensions; it stopped meeting over the summer after hostilities escalated in the Middle East, only to reconvene last week for the first time in months. He stressed that "we should avoid tarring and feathering all Muslim-Americans." Even if it turns out that an Islamic fundamentalist group is behind the terrorist attacks -- something far from clear at this point -- "we have to remember that Muslim-Americans are American citizens, and they have civil rights," he said."
