Teach, I can assure you that a closer read above will show anything but the sentiments you ascribe to me. Now, let's use some common sense here and stop jumping the gun, ok? Did I in any way infer that we should let Muslims living in America dance in the streets with joy over the deaths in NY or Washington? Did I give even a hint that we should cower inside while they parade down our avenues in celebration over these cowardly attacks? You know better.

What I said, take at face value. Americans are Americans. To attack someone of Middle Eastern heritage (or of the Muslim faith) who lives in our country JUST because of that heritage or faith is idiocy. Many are American citizens; hell, a LOT are American citizens.........and they're as pi**ed off about this attack on OUR country........now THEIR country.........as you and I are. They aren't the "target" here.

Now...........IF someone of such "heritage" was stupid enough to run around gleefully, shooting a firearm in the air, whistling, shouting, laughing, etc. over what happened, then I don't care WHO the hell they are or if they're 6' 4" and Aryan: they're going to get an ass kickin'.

Does that explain it better?

Much. Thank you. Now why exactly weren't those sentiments posted in many of the others' posts above? Most simply state, "Don't attack American Muslims"... no matter what they did, they do, or they promise to do.

THAT'S what gets me so riled up, especially after leaving those threads describing the celebrations in Houston college classes, Dearborn schools, Long Island communities, California campuses, etc... where NOT A SINGLE ONE of them got the ass-kickin' they so richly deserved, and worked so hard to earn.
