As the investigation into who was behind the Boston bombings goes on, Muslim communities are braced for a backlash should the perpetrator share their faith (that is, if they have the chance to do so, since in US police is accustommed to shoot possible offenders and save everyone the trouble of this weird thing called "justice").

But why does the white/Christian/atheists people community also fear of a backlash in case the Marathon bombers were of their "kind"?

Simple questions...
