I read about the attacks in Beirut last night.
dunno if there was any MSM coverage.

But yes, we still have too much "less than" attitude floating around, even here on DU, where I was appalled to read virulent anti-Muslim posts.
Let me be clear..those posts were anti ALL Muslims, not just limited to ISIS which is a radical destructive sect of one BRANCH of Muslim belief.

and race is a large part of the ANTI Middle East hatred.
