Well this was bound to happen. From the moment the bombs went off at the Boston Marathon a month ago, America’s fear of Muslims (and those mistakenly perceived as such) has been on the rise again. Take this story for example:

A Saudi student attending college in Michigan prepared a traditional Saudi rice dish known as kabsah, and was carrying it across the street to a friends house when a xenophobic neighbor mistook the rice cooker for a homemade pressure cooker bomb. She notified the FBI, who proceeded to surround his block with armed agents as they questioned him about his rice cooking techniques at his suburban home. The young man cooperated, but was warned by the FBI to be careful moving his rice cooker around.

The most amusing part of this ridiculous story was that the neighbor described the rice cooker to the FBI as “bullet-colored”.
