GWB's memory of " At a time when religious bigotry might have flowed freely, I saw Americans reject prejudice and embrace people of Muslim faith…." is NOT what I saw that night (responding to a call where a man was threatening to kill a graveyard 7-11 clerk who was from the middle east and arresting that "patriot" for the crime of Intimidation 1) and to this day (just yesterday, driving about, saw one of "those" flag bedecked jacked up diesel pickups with a hand lettered poster declaring "kill the ragheads". There was no "embracing people of Muslim faith" among a vast segment of the population where I live.
It's gaslighting in full effect because I have no recollection of that, either. I remember the hatred that spewed forth towards the 'ragheads' and anyone that even remotely looked like them, not the '... embrace people of the Muslim faith...' lies.
Nope. 20 years later, Muslims (and those who look like them- those dark-skinned A-Rabs, you know) are still looked upon with suspicion and hatred, and treated with disdain.
Gurdeep Pandher is a Canadian Muslim who has been dancing throughout the pandemic to bring joy and peace to the world and I'd like to share a recent video of his with you guys.
Laureen you and Gurdeep Pandher gave me fun, movement, color, nature (water, rocks, sky), positivity, the sound of the boat in the water, and the caring of you both. Thank you, Laureen and Gurdeep.

Like you, we experienced no "embrace" of Muslims then, and I see almost no evidence of it now.
