MY FELLOW AMERICAN




Editor's Note: In light of the events in Norway where, we know now, the Oslo Suspect Wrote of Fear of Islam and Plan for War, it seems appropriate to highlight this video from the Web site My Fellow American, whose spokesperson Elizabeth Potter explains, "America has always been a melting pot, but in the post-9/11 world the environment can be downright hostile. Recent mosque protests and congressional hearings on American Muslims are all unfortunate examples of a rising tide of fear. This climate of suspicion towards our fellow Americans compromises the great values that our country was founded upon."
