Appreciate everybody's response, especially El Barto, it was a great advice and I actually talked to the dad on the phone from Egypt -where I was till yesterday- and almost read him your post word by word, he's convinced and today they sent the kids back to school, but boy did they sound terrified for a while.
In addition to the dimwits who think the Masjid near ground zero is a brilliant idea for brining people together; shit is hitting the fan even worse as I discovered 9/11 this year will be so close to our annual religious holidays.
The fuckin dimwits, everyone was starting to get along again, the fuckin dimwits..
