For anyone thinking about hating American Arabs.....

Message From The FBI Director About Need For Linguists

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III, to the American public: "On September 17, I asked for assistance from our citizens with Arabic language capability. The Arabic-American community and others immediately overwhelmed our telephone switchboard."

"I want to thank you for your tremendous response and support. Individuals who are interested in assisting us should now apply on-line at www.fbijobs.com." Please apply if you are proficient in English and one of the following languages: Arabic, Farsi, and Pashto. Details and specific requirements can be found on www.fbijobs.com.

I understand the fear of the people. I also understand, and I also know how unfortunate it is, how fear breeds irrational behavior. I am proud to see Americans of Middle-Eastern decent understand this, and take visible measures to separate themselves from the people we all should fear.

Hurray for the Mosques and ME community leaders who have publicly denounced the attacks on America. Hurray for Americans who have offered their help in our time of tragedy.

God Bless All America.
