I urge you to look around. You are under attack by people who for whatever reason want to kill you. Stop intellectualizing and come to grips with your human obligation to fight for who you are, what you are, and what your dreams are.
You have been educated to consider all cultures and faiths by a tolerant American society. That society hasn't changed in any way. We are now under attack for that very commitment to tolerance. If we do not defend our power of benevolence, dark forces will take its place.
I'm asking you to stop equivocating. That time is long over.
With all due respect, if you see no similarities between what was expressed by Muslims in that post and the beliefs expressed by some fundamentalist Christians about the coming apocalypse, I think you are being disingenuous or closing your mind.
I am totally opposed to Muslim terror and all for defending against evil invaders. I feel no fear about Christians, but it does make me pause when I see folks who are convinced that the world will end soon, coincidentally, on their watch. In my view, Jim Jones and David Koresh are not much different from Al Queda, and it is important that we look at ourselves and our ideas.God gave us our intellect.
