Original message: I was shocked to hear Patricia Calhoun and another panelist implicate "Arabs" in the fires in Boulder and Colorado Springs based on speculation that Al-Qaeda planned to use fire as a means of perpetrating terror attacks. Her comments are incendiary (no pun intended)and not only associates all Arabs with Al-Qaeda but impregnates false and unfounded assumptions in your viewers minds. Arabs are an extremely diverse people not necessarily associated with one particular religion or terrorizing group. Being Arab has no relation with a tendency to invoke violence upon Americans or any other people and this ignorant point of view paints an entire population as ubiquitously antagonistic and evil. A look back at history will show the results of the propagation of this type of thinking. Your viewers deserve better.
