Muslim Vs Infidels
As long as Muslims teach their children that If others do not believe as they do, they must be irradicated, then I must look to protect myself from such people as I am an Infidel in their mind. What a pitiful situation!

When you have a conflagration as we have in the Middle East , asking for peace is a begining to end this senseless nonesense facing this Chunk of dirt we call Earth. Some times we use more than our fair share of " Rocks" to solve our problems and that has not changed since before history has been recorded.There are no victors just victims who seek to be exploited and exploited for very different reasons.
I have a client who is a 23 year old Palestinian who himself does not understand the hatred in his nor our country for Americans nor Israelis'. Sam does not understand nor do I why the Sunni's and Shities' have such contempt for each other. I could care less if you are from the religion of Pigs and Snakes, because if you are good person, of good moral character, then I want you as my friend. I can fix mistakes, but only you can fix your charcter if you so choose to accept that responsibility.
Sadly both sides invoke the destiny of " their " God and " their " prophets, yet we still have such disharmony over the role of God in all of our lives.Does it really matter what is his / her name , or gender as long as you respect the world we share for such a small period in the big picture.
I do not dislike Muslims or Christians because you are Muslim or a Christian, But I dislike and do not trust you if your only goal is to seek to dominate me with only your views.
Acceptance of effective discourse is the foundation of our Bill of Rights from the Founding Fathers'who sought to create a more perfect union of it's citizens. The oppresion we have today was sown many years ago and until we as a free people of the world choose not to carry that burden forward we are destined to be destroyed by the myopia of ignorance and indifference.
