"My opinion .... Sorry folks - but this is ugly shit and amounts to hate speech. Not every Muslim or member of the Nation of Islam is a terrorist. Not every Arab wants to destroy the world. Christianity has it's own share of ugly, murderous behaviours going back thousands of years. It all starts off rather well - we create beliefs which we use to define a scary and unpredictable world. Then we get pissed with someone who doesn't agree with us so we subvert them, rewrite them and corrupt them to suit. I was brought up Catholic - I think we can look to Rome for some of the most outrageous acts of greed and barbarism ever perpetrated in the interests of 'the holy word'. Yet it's somehow more acceptable because these wars, these rules and these abuses are dressed up real nice and live in the Vatican rather than in caves in freezing deserts.
Sometimes I wonder if God wakes up screaming at what we've become."
I'm posting this because I believe we need to start shaking hands with the person next to us. Whether they are wearing a taqiyah, a tiara or a yarmulke. A 'hello' and a smile wouldn't hurt either.
