I don't agree with much in the second link I just wanted to show where she comes from.

I agree with much what she writes in the first link, as a general observation how people under some conditions can slip into a paranoidal mindset. I didn't like the title (maybe it was not her title, you never know that with newspapers) and I have hesitated a lot before making it the thread title. I think the word 'Arab' in the title makes it a bit looking like this was a predisposition particularly in these people and not something which could happen to others as well under similar circumstances. Perhaps a certain type of religion reinforces such a mindset, but I don't know.

When I recall for instance the posts by Dreaded Guest, I see signs of a similar mindset also in the Mudcat world.
