Ltdan's blog post - when will the madness/sadness end?????

what a horrific tragedy at ft hood!!! the real shame of it is going to be the backlash on the muslim people in general. there are evil people in EVERY religion and non-religious as well. i have some friends (whom i consider to be close) who are muslim and i would do anything for them. i also know many people with whom i share the same faith with that i would never stick my neck out for. unfaortunately there are sick (or evil) people with whom we deal with every day. my thoughts and prayers go out to the people and family members who are affected! when we will ever learn to get along and share as a WHOLE people????? i have seen the horror that people are more than willing to heap on each other and i wonder who can inflict it and feel any sense of "satisfaction". don't get me wrong...i am not a complete pacifist, if someone were trying to hurt my family, myself, or "my country" i would be more than willing to retaliate or defend! but to knowingly and willingly do that to another human being is despicable....... my thoughts and prayers to ALL those who are affected!!!!!!!
