I've known some muslims and some other people with middle eastern ethnicity. Most that I've known are much like me in their attitudes and beliefs. Most resent the new stereotype that some people have based on the media's portayal of the conflicts in the century with and between middle eastern countries.
If I were to fear any particular group I find it hard not to get nervous around the Hmong in our area. They are generally the ones making up the gangs and the few shootings we've had in the past few years have been Hmong related. Plus half of them seem to talk in their own language. It's like whispering - when you can't understand what someone else is saying you sometimes feel like they're talking about yout. It always makes me nervous. It's not necessarily based on a stereotype that I've gleaned from the media because I have quite a distrust of media and their agenda - its more based on my personal contact with these people.
