Obviously, it's very clear that dozens of religions can live in harmony as they do here in the United States.
One of the most disappointing things to come out of 9/11 was an incident a day after where someone in Phoenix decided to kill a Muslim only because he was a Muslim. This is not typical of the way Americans act.
Also note that my wife, and thus my daughter, come from the Middle East.
Mr. Izzzy.... I'm sorry about the hatred you see here, as well as in our society oveall. I'll buy you a shot of Jager in Phoenix next week to make up for it.

9/11 affected me tremendously as well. i lost someone i knew in the towers, i live right here and i have to see the emptiness of that skyline everyday i drive into manhattan just like every new yorker. i'm born and raised as a bad english speaking american and yet i live a duality because of my upbringing as well.
i will never condone violence. murder is murder and what happened that day was a scar on not only islam but on humanity as a whole.
PS- no jager, but i'd love some southern comfort
