Joe, I don't judge people by their religion. Where my father grew up--not in the South, but a small town just outside Des Moines back in the 20's--there was a sign on the railroad station that said: "[censored], don't let the sun set on you in this town!" And both he and my grandmother told of the occasional fiery cross burning in the fields. Wouldn't have been any Muslims around back then . . . but plenty of folks didn't much care for Catholics or Jews or blacks. Just plain old church-going folks.

I'd forgotten about that sign on the railroad station until I read an article in the Des Moines Register a few years back. Seems there were more than a few "sunset towns" in Iowa, with that same rule concerning blacks.
