That's ok. It's mostly to do with word choices and broadness of language. You know I always think you have to be most careful with a minority, especially one that might be vulnerable. So while some people might perceive (unfortunately) that I am concerned about the folks who commit terror and the people who support them, the people I am really concerned about are the innocent members of the minority group that is, at the moment, perceived as "the enemy".

My problem with Mona is that her language is likely to make more people perceive Muslims as "the enemy" (even though she is upset that her brother is perceived as the enemy) due to the way she has chosen to express herself.

I completely agree with Kholt that much of this perception of the Muslim communities is due to the activities of the bombers, but adding to the perception is not something I think is logical.

Is that more clear? Or less? Gosh I hope I haven't made it worse.
