I have a very real sense of anxiety when I'm near a person of Middle Eastern decent. And that's my problem, I have to find a way to deal with these events better than I am. In the meantime, it's not fair for me to subject possible innocent people to my fears.

Very well said. I respect the fact that you acknowledge your anxiety as being a personal issue that you have to deal with. We all have personal issues that, if we imposed them on others, would result in prejudices and bigotry. Much respect.
