Agreed. And remember, there's nothing wrong with passion in and of itself, but passion must be tempered with humanity and humillity.
do not believe that many of the posters here would be capable of the slaughter they speak of. I think they are venting.
Agreed. There seems to be an inverse correlation. The least capable people make the most vicious death threats. Those who bloviate about Nuking Mecca if they were in the White House are quite understandably unelectable and most likely incompetent for the CiC job anyway.
That said, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. And the Nuke Mecca crowd doesn't care that if their murderous threats here become acts in the read world, this website would most likely be shut down, given that the violent bigots post early and often here about what they'd do to the moose-limbs if only they could get their hands on some...
I agree with most of your statements, and did not mean to imply that you are uneducated. I mean to say that the outspoken few here will not change, human nature being what it is, when the media glorifies the Rosie O' s of this world, and appologizes for the western way of life as many moslims are mercilessly blown to pieces in a struggle for their freedom (/sarcasm) many here are going to vent.
