Islam is a peaceful religion, but there are a few people who take their religious zeal too far. You can't characterize 1.2 billion people on the basis of a few.
Also, I don't think that it's right to automatically assume that just because there was a terrorist attack that it was based on Islamic fundamentalism. I live in OKC and the bombing here was by a couple of crazy white christians. That doesn't give me right to condemn all white people or all christians. There are some white people who are seriously pissed at the G8 for the things that we have done in relation to the environment and Africa, and those could have been the people that have done this.
I'm sorry to rant, but that just infuriates me. If this gets me banned, then let it be so. I can't sit aside and watch people say things that I believe are unfounded.
And Kristy, I couldn't have said it better myself!!!!!
