The second is very difficult to believe. At an airport (at least an international one), you are likely to hear many languages. It seems unlikely that a foreign language alone would be responsible for security singling one out.<br />I don't support anything that would hurt people. I would never countenance vandalizing a person's home or spraying air freshener after kids from Muslim families. However, there are many incidents in which what you might call "Islamophobia" I might call "a bite of a reality sandwich." For example, it's true that in some Muslim countries, women and girls are forced to wear birkas or veils. That's not "Muslim-bashing."
