Alexios Marakis, a Greek Orthodox priest visiting the U.S., got lost in Tampa and tried to stop and ask directions from Marine reservist Jasen D. Bruce. But instead of offering help, "Bruce struck the priest on the head with a tire iron." The reservist believed Marakis, who spoke limited English, was an Arab terrorist. Bruce chased the priest for three blocks, "and even called 911 to say that an Arabic man tried to rob him."

And the mass hysteria begins...

And also, did he think he was an Arab man, or a Muslim? Arab doesn't always = Muslim. I'm Muslim and I'm not Arabic.

I'm Middle Eastern, but not a Muslim. How can people assume this kind of stuff? :/ So close minded.

You and me both know that Arabs aren't Muslims all the time but we're talking about idiots here.

Edit:  Blah my cough medicine is getting to me.

I was just checking. I've had some people ask me how I'm Muslim, because I'm white.
