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.
