Tell us Anne , where you have traveled to. Further than the USA. But, really it's about traveling further in one's mind and heart and being able to leave behind the overriding fear or suspicion. It's about moving past the known -willingly and with courage. It is about traveling to a place in yourself where you can trust that which is strange or unknown. Have I traveled all of those places?

Can you not conceive of the possibility that just because someone is Muslim that they are not interested in raping your sister or cutting off your head? Can you not consider the likelihood that 95% of immigrants coming to "your" country have no interest in doing anything except surviving? Is it beyond your scope to imagine that your life might be improved by the addition of another culture in "your" country? From: "awoelflebater@...
