Right wing fringe using originally anti-semitic talking point to spread paranoia about Muslims
The new thing that the right wing is saying is that "someone" called all the Muslims in New York, telling them not to go near the World Trade Center and also that over 4000 Muslims who worked in the World Trade Center took the day off.

Some examples:

Can you imagine if someone said that "someone" called all the Jewish people in New York, telling them not to go near the World Trade Center and also that over 4000 Jews who worked in the World Trade Center took the day off?

Oh wait...

2. Then why were 58 Muslims killed at the WTC that day, most of them workers?
