Attorney General Protecting Whom from Whom?

Recently, United States Attorney General Eric Holder vowed to protect Arab-Americans against hate crimes. Is it just me, or does it seem that as a nation the focus of our concern has become completely backward? In today's climate of flying passenger jets into skyscrapers, of Islamic calls to global jihad against the infidels, of an Islamic theocratic dictatorship obtaining nuclear weapons, of radical Muslims beheading journalists, of death threats against the creators of cartoons and television shows depicting Mohammed, it would seem to make more sense for the U. S. Attorney General to vow to protect Americans from domestic-grown terrorists. Am I the only person who thinks that the thinking of the civilized world has turned upside down?
