salim. and his answer right before he slammed was because he was an expletive muslim. obviously, that's a clear indication that bias was at the heart of this. and it's really zooming out to the broader context, we have to all be careful not to harden our hearts towards american muslims at a time when heinous acts were committed in the name of islam in boston. >> right. because, mohamed, if i could come back to you, you are a muslim-american. but also u.s. army reservist. you served in the iraq war for america. when this man began spewing this ugly bile at you, simply because of your religion, you must have been particularly offended, given that you had risked your life for people like him. >> that's right. really offended. after i served the country, i sacrificed my life for this country and i love america. and american army. i'm a soldier. when -- like, this guy -- the way he was accusing me, because i'm simply a muslim, and that's really, really hurtful. it hurts a lot. and the frustration and angry. >> and mohamed came to this country, he chose to immigrate from som
