True. I use the word, 'masque' to differentiate between those mosques which do not serve as terrorist facilities, if there are any. At any rate, if crap happens here again, I don't think the general population will differentiate, viewing all mosques as 'masques'. (Masks for terrorism, of course.)
I agree with you. I don't think people appreciate how close we are to being vicious animals - they think only the terrorists are capable of such behavior.
