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."
