I would say it makes me sad.
But, I lived in the USSR. I have seen a lot of evil things. Far more than any of you greenhouse babies will ever experience.
I have spent countless hours talking to Red Army soldiers who marched to Berlin and back. And even more with the survivors of Trotsky's artificial famine in Ukraine. I have listened to the stories of concentration camp victims and slave labourers, some who came back to the USSR, only to be treated as traitors, and others who, knowing their families were dead, emigrated to the West.
Education and understanding of the "other" is what is needed.
The posts I've read here are venomous, and not too different from attitudes about Jews prior to WWII.
It is ridiculous to ascribe one predominant view to a religion as diverse as Islam. Wahhibists, I do have an issue with - they are funding Islamic fundamentalism and most of the terror (with some being funded by Iran). But that has nothing to do with the majority of the world's Muslims.
"Education and understanding of the "other" is what is needed."
I suggest you tell that to the muslim secretary general of Amnesty International and she can pass that on to the muslims who are gang raping our young girls in Sydney.
Ive done the same in islamic nations... seeing people (both muslim and non-muslim) whose life you hold in your hands and listen the stories of islamic butchery and oppression they tell.
So please dont piss on my shoes and tell me its raining when it comes to islam.
Where's that "Everything I needed to know about Islam I learned on 9-11" link when you need it?
Again, nice try, troll.
Krystalnacht vs. 9-11.
Hmm, no difference.
At least not to a troll.
