So it already appears that it was not for nothing that General George Casey warned against an anti-Muslim backlash in the wake of the Fort Hood massacre.
From the St. Petersberg Times:
A Marine reservist armed with a tire iron beat and chased a man he thought was an Arab terrorist and even called 911 to say he was detaining the man, police said.
But the man he assaulted was actually a Greek Orthodox priest visiting from overseas who spoke limited English, police said.
…
Instead of offering help, Bruce struck the priest on the head with a tire iron, police said.
