After 9-11 with cause Arab Americans are afraid to do anything in the public as they can face retribution. I know in one state they actually made a center where you could call anonmously and say you think so and so is a terrorist and that person could be taken in on such a call. So if anyone held a grudge against you, you could easily be detained and imprisoned. The climate in America is different after 9-11 Arab Americans are more afraid to speak out and get involved, they fear for their safety, freedom etc. A news channel even did a test to see if you mistreated a women wearing a head cover would people react or be sympthetic, well some did and some didn't, it was very telling. Its not so easy now!
