> Aren�t the �Arabs� patriots also? How many places have we bombed? You have a one eyed view of the world my friend. You should read the bible. Jesus could help you. Oh and I know you will think of some witty come back to me calling you my friend but you will always be my friend. No matter how much hate is in your heart. You are in need of a worldview, not a hurt view. While the lives that were lost left us too soon. They live lives that were better than most others in the world. Not only because they were from the U.S. because there were people from other countries in those buildings that lost their lives but because they lived life outside of poverty and desperation and thank god for that. You should re-think how you put all the Middle Eastern people in a box your comment. �Islamism enemies view us "Great Satanists".� It�s Al-Qaeda that has a problem with us, not all of Islam. Al Qaeda are radicals broken off from the true word of Islam that preaches peace above all things. Oh, and if your looking to say I am a part of Islam, I am catholic if you couldn�t tell by my earlier comments, another religion that preaches peace above all else. Also, if you think I know all this stuff because I�m looking to be a member, your wrong, I just like to study the whole story before I pass judgment. We went into the country we invaded because of the threat of weapons of mass destruction. Not because of the attack. We found Sadam, not Benladin and all the other Al-Qaeda links were found in countries other than Iraq.

You say the only way to deal with evil is to confront it every time. Your prejudice is evil. I am confronting it. There are a lot of good people in this country of the Islamic faith that have been hurt by people with your attitude. Sadly, good people have been hurt very badly because of the same hate worldview that you posses. Notice I said the same thing twice in very different ways. It�s the only way I know how to get my point across. Look, I am in no way defending the attack. I am in no way advocating violence of any kind if you haven�t been able to tell. But what I am advocating what we can learn from the attack about ourselves, about each other, and about the other life forms the share this little piece of rock floating through the endless recess of space.

I know you intentions are good. You just need to take off the blood red hate glasses and look at the world through more humanistic eyes. While you are a talented person, I can tell from your song. Please focus on finding a place for peace in your heart. �Let ye who is with out faith cast the first stone.� Jesus said that. Are you with out sin?

Take care my friend.
