: I heard from a teacher that there are some countries in the middle east(i cant remember the name) that dont like us because we helped give Jerusalem back to the Jews.
And continue to dislike us because the US supports Israel with money, training, and weaponry. Many Palestinians see our role in the Peace Talks as biased towards Israel. HOWEVER, Arafat & Hamas have denied involvement and responsibility and send _their_ prayers to the victims.
:All so part of the muslim religon some how says they way we run the country and our busness we are satanic so these terrorist thought they are going to heaven or whatever they call it.
No.
Categorically NO.
As with Christianity, Judaism, and most world religions, Islam has its share of militants. I would remind you all of the Christian religious roots of the KKK and various other white extremists in our own country. Hell, there are plenty of Christians inside this country who see the way we run our country as satanic.
Let us in no way prepetuate violence, hatred or blame against a religion, as varied as any other.
I fear for the coming safety of Muslims in our country, and for those Arabs who are not Muslims, from those who do not understand. (Again, When the Murrow Building was attacked, everyone thought it was Muslism extremists, who did it turn out to be? One of our own.)
I have shed many tears today, and said many prayers.
Perhaps this is not the place, but God save those souls trapped, give solace to those who wait and comfort to those in pain.
