I think it is quite common for people to have somewhat irrational fears about those who are perceived to be different. However I recall Jesse Jackson once commented, “There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery—then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
I suspect some Muslims may feel the same way as ace about other Muslims on the plane. I'm not trying to justify this way of thinking, just trying to better understand it.
