A Brief Announcement

Let me be clear...

If you believe that we should be waging a war against Islam you are a racist; but that is not all. If you believe that Muslims should be singled out, harassed, barred from immigrating to this country, locked up without due process, or bombed indiscriminately in a foreign country because they "may" be a terrorist; Then you sir, would have been exactly the type of person that would have joined the Nazi army in Germany and ushered millions of Jews to their death.

It is an exact parallel.

The times have not changed people. There are basic rules that apply to prevent horrible atrocities from happening. They are being ignored in this country right now by many people.

Many people argue that Muslim charities should get no government subsidies for social aid because they fear that the money will get funneled to terrorists (I don't think any religious organization should get government handouts, but this is beside the point). Fine but realize that one would be just as correct to state that the Catholic church (one of the most subsidized and charitable) should not receive any of that money because they sexually abuse children.

It's time to reign ourselves in people, and look at the whole picture.

As an aside, I absolutely HATE the fact that I have to defend Muslims because I believe that their religion is bullshit, their dogma is bullshit and some of their actions are completely reprehensible but the all-out attack on them by the populace means that SOMEONE who can see what is actually going on must say something and bring some perspective back to the situation.
