Got nada problem with Muslims or anyone else - and sure as hell, don't "fear" them.

One aspect tho - be wary of the subtle bullshit purveyed by those with an agenda. There is a spin message going out to "hate" Muslims - much the same way the US was "taught" to hate the French. (And oddly - that crap worked).

The death of a nun is ... more than unfortunate. That can happen anywhere. How many Muslims were killed in the last 24 hours? 50? 100? 150? They don't get a mention - they are nameless and "collateral damage".
What's that have to do with a nun being targetted and shot to death?? The reason it made news was because it was in response to the pope's comments which were meaningless to begin with.
