Again, try reading the article; He uses the possessives "I" and "My" throughout the article, in describing his perspective. Did he claim to be the victim of a hate crime? No. Are you going to question whether his life as a Muslim American was permanently altered, since he didn't die that day? On what grounds do you deem him undeserving of justice or apology?
"Osama bin Laden devastated my life as an American. But he permanently altered my life as a Muslim American. As an American, my soul finally found some relief upon the news of his death. As a Muslim American, though, my soul found little relief, as it continues, even after his death, to be surrounded by the fires of anti-Muslim prejudice that have engulfed my country. As a Muslim American, I did find relief in the first words that I and many in my community uttered upon hearing the news of his death. Those words were the humble Islamic proclamation: "God is the Most Great."
The anti-Muslim prejudice he speaks of either exists, or it doesn't; If it exists, it's either excused or unexcused. IMO, it does exist, and there is no excuse for it. You have as of yet to define your meandering opinion on the matter. Instead of making a clear claim, you make some remark about me being condescending, and duck and dodge the issue.
