The evening news here reported that since last Tuesday there have already
been about 100 incidents in the US of agression towards Muslims. This
ranged from namecalling to "go back to your own country!" to threats to (oh
horrors) two instances of some assholes shooting at a school where Islamic
children were taking class.
This is precisely why I feel that all those "let's strike back with
everything we've got" advocates are way out of line: it is exactly their
kind of rantings that lead to agression towards people in the US who's only
"crime" it is that they pray to a different God.
May Allah have mercy on your souls.
