I have lived my life with a pretty solid indifference to the religious beliefs of my neighbors. I have long upheld the importance of the individual right to be wrong. Thus, your religion, or lack of religion were part of the palatte that made you you. As long as you didn't handle your snakes where I was in harm's way you could float your boat without rocking mine.
Today, is 9-11 the way the rest of the world reckons it's time. The events in Jordan are deliberate and ruthless.
Without Muslim leader actively and forcefully denouncing the many egregious acts of violence and destruction I am finding myself having problems with Islam and polarized, against my will and natural inclinations, into a very anti-Islamic position. I am starting to paint all Muslims with the same brush even though I know this is unjust.
I would appreciate this board help me to restore my reason and equinimity. Give me help in NOT shedding the blame for atrocities on all Muslims. Help me to understand why the Mullahs and Imans are not screeming their condemnation of these acts.
If you can't do this; explain why the Irish Republican Army should not re-arm?
