More than 90% of the muslim population is brown. Just because there's a minority that isn't brown doesn't make my comment invalid. This is racism against a family that is brown and didn't look like your average white american, that is racism, if this family was white, if the woman didn't wear a veil, they wouldn't be targeted by this hate crime.

I'd like to clarify- most Muslims tend to actually be Asian. The second largest group is then Black, and the race list goes on.

Funny how everyone typically relates Muslims to arabs with large beards and 10+ kids. Most Muslims actually live in Asia.

Indeed most Muslims are from Pakistan, the Indian subcontinent and Bangladesh, they're still brown. They would've also been targeted on that plane just because of their appearance. None on that plane could know this family was Muslim, you don't fill a form to state your religion before entering a plane. I repeat, they were targeted because of their appearance.
