Eric, One thing that has always made me think is that as you have said not all Muslims are bad but some are. Not all organizations have people in them who want to rule everyone else. I guess I am playing the devil's advocate. If you viewed more things like you have views and taken up for the Muslims, I see more than one thought. Polictical parties act like all people within the group should have the exact same ideas on all things. Kind of ridiculous of course. I am in the middle, actually. I have seen Chinese people skin their animals alive. It only made me sick for a year or so. We are the stewards of the animals and not all people mistreat them and not all people believe in humanely treating them. I understand how you feel and hope that any organization that wants to take over all the rights of people on subjects like these fail where they are wrong. Hang in there.

I suppose they would take a dim view of the fact that we just 'sacrificed' a ram lamb (a yearling from our flock) and ate it for a Passover dinner? The funny thing is, I wonder if they think about the 'nuisance' animals displaced, trapped, or killed to protect a vegetable patch to feed vegans. At least I know that the lamb was raised well, killed humanely, and that the life given meant something. We have spent much time, effort, and energy getting to the point where we can do that and say that. Nothing any of us do is without cost; being willing (and honest enough) to bear that cost is sometimes the best we can do.
