Well, well..

Hopefully we are all here together and we can sit down to have a little chat.

Recently there has been reported in the news several stories about MoveOn.org's prejudice against the Jewish people.

I, among most of our Freeper audience, of course deplore this attitude and see it for what it is, the beginning of the same prejudices that were seen during the Second World War

At any point that the Jewish people are demonized, we need to be concerned, take note and realize the situation that we are in, take sides and Fight the Good Fight.

I however also deplore some whom are amongst us whom seem to think that it is acceptable to apply that same hatred and prejudice against the Islamic population as a whole.

Example: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1677375/posts

At certain times in history we as a civilized Republic are asked to make choices and decide how we will react as a Moral Nation to thase whom wish us harm.

We can either react like some of our Fore Fathers did and start up the prison camps (Japanese Americans), take away their rights and debase ourselves for our future generations, or we can fight the real enemy, IslamoFacism, and not pin every follower of Islam under the same light and IN FACT make all of Islam our enemy by our own choice.

I am neither naive nor stupid enough to believe that those that practice Islam have done enough on their own part to distance themselves from the radicals nor have they done enough to publicly denigrate those among them that follow the path of Radical Islam.

Nevertheless, it is not contingent upon them to do so for us to act in an appropriate manner.

WE DO NOT LET THEM DICTATE OUR MORALITY.

We are the followers of our religions and we bear the responsibility for those actions and what we do In His Name.

I do not mean that we should hold back in war, let the Generals decide what is appropriate reaction on the battlefield, that’s their job. If it takes firebombing an entire city to get them to have a "Change of Heart", so be it.

A soldier’s duty on the battlefield, however, does not dictate how we react as a society to prejudice, in whatever nasty form it comes in.

We do not blame children for learning from their teachers that 2 + 2 = 5, nor should we blame all of the Islamic society for the radicalism taught by madmen in their midst to their children.

We as Christians (sorry for generalizing) have many atrocities in our own past history to be ashamed of, we grew out of it and now are trying to pass that learning on to others.

We can not expect to teach the great values of our society if we are also damning them all to hell, doesn’t work all that well.

Saying that “All the Muslims Are to Blame" is just as bad as saying that "All the JEEWWWWSSSS are to blame"

BTW, being a devout agnostic I am keenly aware that we have the potential to posses an equal amount of moral fortitude as any religious person. My post was mostly sarcasm.
