You make is sound so relaxing, Pat. I have to add that I do not know any Muslims and have never met any Muslims which may be one of the reasons for my apprehensions. However, it is not without any basis, ie; the Muslim Major Hasan seemed by ALL accounts to be one of the peace loving Muslim persons of whom you speak. Didn't people know him as such, wasn't he in the US Army? Didn't he shoot and kill US Soldiers? Was he a fundamentalist, a radical terrorist? Are we being duped is the real question, are you? Although I don't know Major Hasan, I can 'guess' (which is hardly good) that there were conflicts of interest going on in his mind. Muslims consider one another brothers

Buzzer goes off, I'm not an Atheist, never claimed to be one, being non religious is not Atheism. What I believe God is may be different from others beliefs. Yes for sure I think the world would be much better without politics and many other things including wealth, an unnecessary state of being. Your interpretations are too micro. I'm not picking on religion per se but it is within the context of this thread, in case you haven't noticed, ie; Muslims um Religion um Islam um Religion um Jihad um Religion. {snicker!} Now my buzzer goes off. Which FORM of Islam? Not all Muslims are practicing, per se, and not all forms of Islam (for those who ARE practicing) are the same. Sunni vs. Shi'a is a big divide, for one, and ther eare four major 'schools of though' when it comes to deriving laws (Shari'a) from the Qur'an

I think that Justin's read on Slips question was accurate, in that it points to the racial hysteria that is now all around us, inflamed by mainstream media and ignorance. In the US, as generations go on, so does the racism, but the targeted race changes. During my grandparents time, the Irish were targets. Now, because Islam is not really a race, but a religion, anyone with medium dark skin is a target, which could be Eastern European, Indian, Middle Eastern parts of the globe and include, in truth, several different races and religions that include a particular physical look. It is our tendency to identify with groups, and feel ourselves against others and other groups that get in our way in significant but irrational ways. My step daughter dates a guy who immigrated from Armenia at the age of 7. He had someone call him an Arab with distain the other day. Last I checked, Saudi Arabia and the US were allies. Even a relatively innocuous statement from Gabby against me and for someone else will interrupt cohesion in the group. In terms of self, moving against is always looking away from self. It is human nature none the less. Wrap that up with a big coat of fear - fear of the future, fear of war, fear of attack, fear of economic disaster, fear that I won't be able to keep my stuff or have more stuff or hang on to my irrational fear and anger that allows me to feel in the absence of love, well, you are perfect fodder for herd mentality and those who prey on it. Even that is simply a

Norwegian Minister of Justice did not sit at home and dived in the waters of the Arctic. I must admit that bad for the minister!
