The 'raw ignorance of Arab culture' blows your mind?
The naive trust in people belonging to a culture, and religion, that promotes LYING to outsiders scares the hell out of me!
How can ANYONE deal with a culture , and religion, that has duplicity at its core?
More suspicion, and less trust, and we wouldn't have had 9-11.

Your fear is understandable but it doesn't warrant an unreasonable response. Unfiltered fear often does not lead to rational decisions, whether it's the libertarian complaint about sacrificing liberty for security or lynchings and other fear-driven violence. How many Sikhs were beaten up by fearful Americans after 9/11 and they aren't even Muslim, simply because they wear turbans?

There are liars and honest people in all cultures. How do you deal with the fact that anyone you meet might be a liar or criminal? More Americans are murdered by other Americans than Muslims. And plenty of the American children who are molested are molested by trusted family members. How do you know someone in your own family isn't a Karla Homolka or Ted Bundy? Do you really think Christianity is a reliable vaccine for sociopathy?

More suspicion is certainly reasonable. Paranoia isn't.
