Debunking the enemy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX5oxxv9Q1E&feature=related

During war time people despise the enemy at all cost, based on generalizations. The main focus of this entry is at the beginning of the video. The people who agree with the clerk associate the woman's attire with terrorism. They immediately separate her from being an American, because of her beliefs and clothing.  They justify their behavior because of war. If the person looks like the enemy then they are the enemy according to the supporters of clerk. They have a set view of women who wear that type of clothing, and feel the need to distance themselves from them.
