I understand your frustration with the Muslim community, but it appears you are not following the events in Iran.

That assumption would be correct. I do try to stay informed on a wide variety of subjects, but Iran was never on my "list" of things to watch...

And honestly, after seeing the deceptive, disengenuous statements by Muslims here (usually in face-to-face confrontations) I admit a lack of desire to seriously consider other Islamic issues. By my way of thinking, all of Islam faces a crisis- either find a way to stop to murderous elements of the faith, or be counted as supporters of those elements... I.e., "guilt by association."

(((shrugging shoulders)))

Honestly, I don't know how this will ultimately play out... (((sigh)))

I don't know how it will end up either. But the youth of Iran strongly support the USA and want to create a new government built on a secular democracy. My heart goes out for these young people wanting the same freedoms we tend to take for granted.

Check out my daily thread some time.

They give me hope for the middle-east.
