I neither endorse nor condone what goes on in the ongoing battle between Israelites and Palestinians – but I do understand it. It’s not a reason to stop trying. It’s not an excuse. It’s not a even reason to forgive. But it’s an understanding. And that’s a start.

There are people out there that fear Islam. They believe, wrongly, that Islam is a religion of hate, intolerance, and armed religious revolution. Anti-Muslim ideology has become the new, bigoted, rallying cry for xenophobic pro-western smacktards whose knowledge and understanding of a subject is limited to, “he’s a rag head.”
