Another Wound For Muslims Who Lost Loved Ones On 9/11 - With Sarah Palin and company getting the most face time on this matter, we forget those who lost family members on 9-11. Unfortunately Muslims in this country are getting ugly doses of discrimination:
(Talat)Hamdani said because her son was a Muslim, authorities investigated whether he was connected to the 9/11 plot. FBI agents interrogated Talat Hamdani and her now deceased husband, while a New York Post headline asked if her son was, "Missing or Hiding?" Only when Salman's remains were found at Ground Zero six months later was he cleared of suspicion and recognized as a first responder and a victim.
"He was an NYPD cadet, he was an EMT, he was a first responder, and he wasn't given dignity," said Hamdani.
Ashrafi, who wears a hijab, said teenagers hurled coke cans and anti-Muslim epithets when she picked-up her daughter after school a few years ago, while at a local grocery store, a customer muttered something about "Muslims" before switching out of her check-out line. In another shopping experience, Ashrafi offered to get a product that a wheelchair-bound woman couldn't reach. The woman told Ashrafi she didn't "need help from a Muslim."
