AP report on violence against Arab-Americans.

Some sickening quotes from the article....

"I'm proud to be American and I hate Arabs and I always have," said 19-year-old Colin Zaremba who marched with the group from Oak Lawn.

In Chicago, a Molotov cocktail was tossed Wednesday at an Arab-American community center.

In Huntington, N.Y., a 75-year-old man who was drunk tried to run over a Pakistani woman in the parking lot of a shopping mall, police said. The man, Adam Lang, then followed the woman into a store and threatened to kill her for "destroying my country."

[and it goes on]
