Everyone is on edge about people of middle eastern descent, but what do you expect?
I'm not... just I was not on edge every time I heard someone with an Irish accent when the IRA were active. The vast majority of the funding for the IRA terrorists came from NORAID, ie.. US citizens. I don't think every US citizen is therefore a potential threat and either a terrorist or funding terrorists. It is ridiculous. As you said, Timothy McVeigh was an all American White Boy... so why isn't everyone on edge about "all American White boys".

Prejudice is prejudice...
