Trust me, I'm all for Justice... and Justice is supposed to be blind. I'm NOT the type of person to defend ANYONE if they are wrong, just because they may be of the same race, religion, or nationality. I don't care! ...the blind absolution to Islam you and other provide in the face of endless atrocities, not in the last millennium, but in the last 50 years, inflicted by this "gentle" Islam. PLEASE do me a favor and stop associating Islam with atrocities or terrorism! Bad people are bad people! How would you feel if our media went on a daily attack of Christianity or Judiasm because of the actions of a few (or even many)? Beyond religion, how would you like your country or nationality or race to labeled based on the actions of a few bad apples? If you want to blame anyone for their actions, go ahead and identify them as individuals, whomever they are. STOP labeling a religion of over a billion followers on the actions of a few!! ...and please learn about the religion before you make such inflammatory remarks. IGNORANCE = ARROGANCE = RACISM There are FAR more peace loving Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews in this world then there are the evil ones. It's just that the evil ones get all the press. Why does the media have to be nothing but negative hype? Because it sells? Why don't we start putting more positive energy and positive role models on TV instead of the constant barrage of fear, violence, hate, and stupidity. This crap sub-consciously affects people and has a snowball effect on a grand social scale unless we do something to stop it. We need to start off small. I hope we can smile and say good morning to everyone we meet. Happiness is contagious. Little by little we can make a difference. I'm sure a lot of people are like me and are sick of the bullshit that's pumped through our media... I'm rambling... PEACE
