Another day, another arrest for attempted terrorism.In the article, we get the typical neighbor interview that you always get when they arrest a serial killer or someone else for a notorious crime.  The NYTimes got this quote to fulfill that obligation (emphasis added):

Neighbors said they were shocked by his arrest. Chafic Maalouf, 47, who lives down the block from the Mehanna family, said he thought the younger Mr. Mehanna, whom he sometimes saw mowing the lawn, had worked as a pharmacy technician at a Walgreen drug store in Marlboro, Mass.  “He was very sweet, soft-spoken — he seemed so harmless,” Mr. Maalouf said. “He has a beard and a dark complexion, so to the average American he fits the terrorist profile,” he added. “But if you looked in his eyes, he seemed to be a very genuine, kind, loving person.”

Hey, Mr. Maalouf.   Why don’t you try speaking for yourself, instead of making bigoted assumptions about the three hundred million people who share this nation with you, hmm?  I mean, it’s like you work for NBC or something.
