As sad as it is, yes, it is happening. The reports that I've heard are that people originally from the middle east(not trying to stereotype here, but in the cases I've heard, that's where they've been from) who are now here going to school(first recieved report was from a metro Detroit area high school - not going to say which one, but college reports have since also been recieved,) may have not been "dancing in the streets," but the sentiment that we as a country somehow deserved the events of last week was definitely communicated(laughing and high-fiving I believe were the most common ways I've heard so far.)

I realize that there's also a lot of people now living in the US from that region that abhor the events of this past week as much as all of us do, but the fact remains that a few see this as the results of our own actions finally catching up with us.
