Ok I don't watch the news. I don't watch tv period. I don't even read newspapers or go on news websites. But some news does filter through to me and when I read more than one or two blogs about it I know there's something going on. Apparently some crazy person calling themselves Christian is burning Qurans? When I read about it I just wanted to say to whoever comes across this that it makes me really sad and frustrated and I wish I could pass on the message that not all Christians are crazy anti-Muslims just like I know not all Muslims are not crazy anti-Christians. Sigh. I remember reading an article about the long history of peaceful co-existence in other parts of the world between Christians and Muslims. I would link to it if I could but it's been so long now that I have no idea where it is any more but anyways.
While I agree with you overall, especially about the crazy "pastor" who planned to burn the Quran, history should be remembered as it was: Muslims live in peace with non-Muslims only when (1) they are too weak to do anything else or
ReplyDelete(2) they are so powerful they impose their own (harsh!) terms upon the "peace".
Yup. That's why I don't watch TV, read newspapers or surf internet news sites. I already know the world is nuts, I don't need daily confirmations.
