People should not be judged as a whole by their extremists. Everyone
needs to remember this right now.
Thankfully, PDML seems to be one of the more level-headed centres of
conversation on the 'net. On other sites, where the conversation still
continues to be "kill all Arabs", I find myself asking whether the same
people wanted all caucasians killed after Oklahoma. I certainly don't
recall that from the time.
It looks to me like some people are using this terrible tragedy to vent
some pre-existing hatred, which not only disgusts me but seriously
disrespects the memories of all of the people who lost their lives
yesterday. To piggyback a personal agenda on the suffering of a nation
is reprehensible.
Thank God that the PDML has been nearly immune to this so far.
