My wife's father is from Jordan. He spent his career working for the Corps of Engineers starting in the early 80s. His coworkers were shit to him when he started his career because of Iran idiocy. He then got round two of being shat on after 9/11. Coworkers he'd known for years stopped talking to him, etc.

My brother in law was in 4th grade in 2001 and a kid told him he was going to bring a gun to school and shoot him. There were meetings at the school but the kid faced no punishment beyond being asked to apologize.
A neighbor, who is a well known doctor in town, pulled a gun on my father in law who was out looking for a lost cat. They'd lived in the same place for over 15 years at that point. That was around 2002 or 2003.
My father in law isn't Muslim by the way. His parents were Catholic and as a kid he bounced around Lebanon and Jordan because (insert 50 year history of the middle east here).
Anyways, that's how tolerant people in suburban Texas were after 9/11, thanks to W's calmness.
