I love America and...I am an American, and a Muslim. I love America and God. We are free in America to express our beliefs, however, when those freedoms trample, hurt and maim other people and their freedoms, then that should be against the law and constitution. This so-called Christian pastor should be held responsible for the deaths of these men. He has already incited violence because of his burning of the Qur'an last year. How would he feel if someone did that with the Bible? Obviously, he doesn't realize, in his ignorance, that Islam holds Jesus and the Bible in high esteem. I was born and raised in America. As a matter of fact, I am native American. I'm so tired of people who are so narrow minded that they can't see past their own tiny opinions to see any other point of view. Isn't that why all the Europeans came to America in the first place? To get away from people just like this? These guys stand up and say, "Get out of my country." as if they were there first. I can say the same thing and be justified. Can they? Where did their ancestors come from? Mine were here first. And their ancestors did the same thing to my people as this guy is trying to do to the Muslims now. They say ignorance is bliss, but in this case, ignorance is murderous. I'm sure this will get media coverage as some unimaginable attack from the Muslim extremists. I don't condone any violence that the terrorists are doing. It's totally against Islam, but propagating lies and hating others is against Christianity as well. Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." This guy must really hate himself. His ignorance is so obvious. He doesn't even know the history of Christianity and what was done to "convert" the world, or what is still happening. It's time people start judging people by the intent of their heart and the character instead of what religion they follow or color of their skin. I truly thought we settled this in 1964. I guess, I was wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817844801462157547.post-34334641792596445242012-09-12T11:17:12.381-07:002012-09-12T11:17:12.381-07:00KNow this to be true, Islam is based on intoleranc...KNow this to be true, Islam is based on intolerance - while the west relies on tolerance. An open and free society has varying opinions, some good, some bad but mostly educated. When Islam becomes tolerant those believers will be truly free, until then they are enslaved by the writings Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
