People may disagree or agree with me....on this. but just because they found..the people to be Arabs....doesn't mean all Moslems are bad. I've met a few nice ones in my life, that do not....agree with the fanatics. Naturally the men who did this...are fanatics...and whatever Pres. Bush says to do...we should do...it...and follow suit. Whatever country it is....etc, and even my husband said, he'd gladly fight for America. Where my husband originates from is not important.

I know...seeing pictures of the Palestinians.etc, cheering, made everyone angry. you have to consider the source. These people are ignorant, jealous of our country and only know the propaganda that their leaders feed them. I only feel pity for those type of people.

I wish, that....there could be a bond...between...Christians and Moslems....an understanding.....as well...as one for Hindu's....and other religions. I've suffered...from....being an outcast....in regions and places....because of my religion, and mis-understandings. That is why, I say, what I say. Until its happened to you, you don't know how painful it is.

I am not....holding up a sign and saying.....(to love...Moslems)--no, I am only saying....try to understand.
God loves them too. God loves all people, that is the God, I've come to know. God hates evil, and it is (free choice)--and evil that blackens the heart...to do evil deeds.

We can choose to become like them, or choose to rise above, and be a light to others, a light of kindness and love --and...one of dignity. That's all I'm saying.

I run through different phases, myself, of un-belief, of pain, of anger, and wonder how it could happen?? But I am also concerned for our people, and the possibility of another war, where our children, men and women will suffer, and so we must walk with heads held high, and trust God, to lead us to the right direction and pray for His wisdom.

I hope I've not offended anyone, but I had to say my piece, however right or wrong it might be.

It took me a long time, to come to this.....(phase of belief )-in my life.

Maybe I'm wrong,? I don't know? I love America as much as the next person and so does my husband, that is why he came here. All....middle-easterner's might look alike to some people, but my husband is someone that I love, that has a good heart and mind, that is the most Christian man, I've ever come to know, and I'm proud of him.

God bless America, and remember, we're all immigrants from somewhere else, and....even my great-grandparents came here, because of freedom. That is something...that shouldn't be forgotten.
