Terrorism & Tolerance: Why Lodi?
SacBee reports: “Lodi’s diverse culture tested — Terror arrests put the city, shaped by immigration, in the national spotlight.”
If it sounds like a loaded headline, it is.
“Now, in this town where relations among diverse residents have been mostly peaceful, tolerance is being tested in a way that few small towns in America have experienced.”
It’s presumptious to blame the media. We don’t know how residents felt before the terrorist alert. Besides, every healthy relationship should be tested, now and then.
“One homeland security expert says small towns could provide good cover because residents and law enforcement are less likely to be looking for signs of terrorists.“The thinking would be they could hide and blend into small cities,” said Elsa Lee, CEO of Advantage SCI, a consulting firm based in El Segundo.
Another national security expert says the small-town strategy seems counterintuitive.
“You would think big cities would be the method … because it would be easier to blend into a large community,” said Randall Larsen, a former Air Force colonel and CEO of Homeland Security Associates in Alexandria, Va.”
Sounds familiar. Maybe we can offer some more perspectives.
In conclusion, the article bemoans:
“After Sept. 11, 2001, Pakistani Muslims [in Lodi] feared their community and mosque would be targeted again, but the situation remained relatively calm even as displays of American patriotism appeared everywhere and rumors spread that the Pakistani community celebrated the attacks.Now, the fear is back
.”
For many Americans, since 9/11, the fear never left.
