Just an interesting note, my family is of German descent. My grandfather
drove a bus transporting soldiers to and from Army facilities in Washington
during WW II.

I'm not Muslim, I'm Christian. But I certainly know enough about the Muslim
doctrine to know that it should be the other way around. Suspecting all
Muslims of terrorism is like suspecing me of suicidal intent because of Jim
Jones or of hating Jews because of the Nazis.

Once in a while you hear of a "Christian extremist" like the guys in Waco,
Texas that ended so badly. Those people do not represent Christianity any
more than the people who would do something like what happened Tuesday
represent Muslims.
