Security to aisle seven...

I normally don't read the letters page in the Melbourne Age: that way madness lies. But I strayed today, seeing that for once, the headline letter was not by Joseph Toscano, of the 'Anarchist Media Institute'. Instead, it's by an O. Ibrahim, who is actually writing to express his shame, as a muslim, at the existence of jihad-intent co-religionists in Australia. So far, so good. But Mr. Ibrahim still wants us to know that being a muslim in Australia is not all, er, beer and skittles. Prejudice abounds at his obviously muslim appearance: he has a beard, apparently.
"I enter any decent store and the public address system asks for security to be sent to my area."

Perceptions of prejudice are often deeply subjective, but really, when is the last time you were in a big store of any kind, and heard security being summoned on the public address system?
