i appreciate most of your posts which deal with issues in society in general; however i also have noticed a distinct bias against islam as a religion in your posts. please try to keep perspective and treat these crimes as separate incidents from the religion itself. each of these incidents which seem to be encouraged by islam are in fact in direct conflict with its teachings..judge the players not the game..its just not fair. i'm muslim too but that's not the reason im reacting; id do the same for any other religion..religion isn't to be blamed for peoples' idiocy and is a way of life for whoever believes in god..please respect the closeness people have with their faith and accept it as their way of life. thank you and have a good day:-)
