What amazes me these days is that people everywhere feel perfectly comfortable about standing around in a room full of people and mouth statements that are blatantly prejudiced and full of hate. It used to be that prejudice was bad and tolerance of others beliefs and life choices was good. It used to be that mouthing blatantly prejudiced statements in public was not done, no matter what your personal thoughts were.
I find it depressingly sad that prejudice won out over tolerance.
Islam is not an inherently violent religion. The Middle East however IS an inherently violent realm. It has been since the time of Teddy Roosevelt. The politics of the region are to blame, not the religion. Blame the individuals responsible, whom ever you think that might be, but do not blame a religion that boasts many beauties and truths.
