Hej Christine,

I am so sorry this happened to you! Please remember that there are a
lot of people out there who think before they do something, and who
act only after they know what's going on.

I suggested CCJ's henna prayer flags to a librarian I know partly to
help young adults deal with the tragedy, and partly to remind them
that middle eastern does not mean terrorist. I've kept my hand
hennaed for the same reason.

The ignorent can be dangerous - please be careful!

Anne, who wishes more people took the time to learn about other
cultures instead of relying on stereo-types that were never anywhere
close to true to begin with

: I had a first hand account of blinded ignorance of hate. I am a
henna
: artist as well as my other passion belly dance. Now because of the
: terrorism. I was supposed to do a festival permorming and teaching
: children to belly dance this Saturday. I wanted to make it not all
: things Arabic or Middle Eastern are "Terrorist related"
