RE: Is Islam a religion of peace?
Ever since 9/11 this question has been asked over & over again. Asked rhetorically and sarcastically by the Right and others who believe Islam is a religion absolutely founded in violence. Asked by the Left and other Liberals as a set-up to espouse their "Why can't we all get along?" inter-faith, cross-cultural ideology. And many Muslims answer, in blind defense of their religion, that Islam is indeed absolutely a religion of peace.
The honest truth is that Islam is a religion of peace and violence...just like Christianity and Judaism and just about any other religion in the World. Yet why is Islam singled out for such scrutiny? I understand that recent events, including 9/11, has put Islam in the spotlight so it is understandable that it would be scrutinized. My question, though, is why the hypocrisy and the double-standards when speaking on Islam? Why are all the atrocities commited in the name of Christianity not allowed in the discussion as if they have no bearing on what true Christianity is? Yet when it comes to Islam any and every heinous act commited by a Muslim is to be taken as indicative of what true Islam is all about?
Why?

Insane in the membrane
Tonight at work, a lady, either inoxicated, high, mentally ill or a combination thereof, was walking through our dark parking lot alternately pointing out shopping carts for me and calmly telling me that they murdered her daughter. She did this a few times and then stated that she'll "get over it" and then walked away.
Yet Another Post...
Apparently the blog title "Yet Another Blog" is not entirely original. Although it was an entirely original idea in my less than creative mind...and apparently less than creative minds think entirely alike.
