That was my point. I had heard someone say that they heard that there 
were riots in Paterson and another said they heard of riots on Long 
Island. After doing a bit of searching I have come to the conclusion 
that these were nothing but rumors.

However I did find info on the terrible things that are being done to 
Muslims, Islamics, Sikhs, and others of mideastern descent.

This one is particularly interesting in that Hispanics, a group that is 
commonly sneered at, are attacking Muslims.

This, from The Cleveland Plain Dealer, actually mentions an incident on 
Long Island:

Now this one is f-r-e-a-k-y:

On the humorous side, (I'm with you Mort) a woman I know, born and bred 
in Vancouver and attended college in Hartford, is here in NJ visiting 
relatives. She is of Indian (you know, India not American-Indian) 
descent. She honestly believes that she is being treated differently 
because she is Canadian.
