Here's something to pause and reflect about. The second worst terrorist attack in our history was also committed by an exetremist between the age of 17 and 40. April 19, 1995!! Oklahoma City. Unfortunately for people who think there is some specific link between Islam and religious violence, Timothy McVeigh was a very devout Christian. So I ask you, is Islam the enemy or religious exetremism in general. Being a student of religious studies, I would have to vote for the latter. I would hope people like Amy W. pause and reflect about that, but their ears are shut. I've got a prayer for you...that our grandchildren never have to live in the same atmosphere of intolerance and fear that we have built around ourselves with regards to religion. That they will never have to think in terms of "us and them." But without action now, this cannot happen. The picture should be removed.
