I am not Nation of Islam, nor do I endorse them, but if anything, they have programs to keep the streets clean. In Brooklyn, they are like the Guardian Angels (vigilante squads).

- a non-endorsing endorsement.

Stop getting your news from National Enquirer.

I'll have you know that NE is a cutting edge journalistic powerhouse. Remember, they broke the Rush Limbaugh pill story. Their integrity is every bit as reliable as any of the major media outlets, like CNN.

However, if you can't tell the difference between a vision that tells someone to kill her kids and one that unifies communities and families and strengthens morality, you need help.

How true! The proof of pudding , etc. And the unification of families and strengthening of morality is certainly a laudable goal. But the means to that end are also important; the subjugation of women, slavery, terrorizing people of other religions, and use of barbaric practices like beheadings, stonings and severing of limbs, honor killings and the like, are not justified by claim to morality achieved. Coerced acts are not moral acts, and coercion to this degree, is itself immoral.

So you are justifying the church burning in Nigeria because of "corruption" or "tribal" reasons.

It would be very commendable if you had included a few phrases of insults to the “idiots” who committed such “crimes”. This way the world would know that there are "few" Moslems who care, or who are not happy to see violence inflected on the infidels. When violence is committed against African American people, for example, the majority of WHITE people are outraged! They NEVER excuse or “justify” the violence.

In general, since 9/11, ALL Moslems comments on Islamic terrorism were very tempered with look warm phrases. Non was out right full of indignation that "the so called " Moslems should behave like barbarians in the name of Islam.

"I hate Church burning and I hate Church burners. I hate them regardless of what religion they come from or what their reasons are."

Say Church burners are stupid idiots too! LOL :-)

guess what she is studying right now? BUddism

The American mind is incapable of grasping anything about Buddhism. So this shouldn't be a problem for either the students or Buddhists.
