No biggie. We all get a terse from time to time.

It's very easy to fall into that trap. It takes a conscious effort to avoid it and I'm not always successful myself.

I'm white. My best friend (we've been friends since we were 16 - I'm 39 now) is black. My father was prejudiced against black folks and didn't like my friend until one day my friend offered to help us move and wouldn't take any money when offered. Earned my fathers respect.

I think muslims need to do the same. They need to stand up and speak out against this butchery and terrorism. Repeat is earned, not given. The vast majority of muslims have not earned that respect. When I read reports of folks being killed by muslims for not following islam they earn nothing but my hatred.

Would like to talk more, but work calls.
