....... We cannot allow ourselves to become Annie Jacobsons whose racial prejudice sees every one of Middle Eastern descent (or having the physical appearance, which would expand the list to include Latinos, Asians and Africans) as a possible terrorist. Annie Jacobson was the person who wrote an article about 14 Syrian musicians she believed, and believes to this day, were terrorists conducting a "dry run" on board a Northwest flight a couple years ago.
