They Didn’t Say It Was the Best Place for Muslims to Raise a Family
A cynic might say something cynical regarding the juxtaposition of these two stories about the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park, both of which appeared in yesterday’s Chicago Tribune.
“BusinessWeek names Tinley Park best place in U.S. to raise a family,” by Kristen Schorsch:
Turns out there is life south of 95th Street, despite what some North Siders might think. And it’s a slice of “real Midwest Americana,” according to Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki.
“Tinley Park woman charged with hate crime for tugging on woman’s head scarf,” by Kim Janssen and Joel Hood:
A suburban Chicago woman has been charged with a hate crime for allegedly yanking the head scarf of a Muslim woman in Tinley Park two days after the shootings at Fort Hood, Texas.
Good thing I’m not a cynic.
