Perhaps your own experience has caused a sensitivity that makes you see things in the words of others that are not there, and to miss things that are there. That would be understandable under the circumstances.
On a forum such as this there's a lot of mis-reading of what is said and meant, especially when emotions are (understandably) raw.
For instance when pillut used my son against me in ignorance it also angered me at first......for a few minutes that is. Then I considered the source.....someone who was speaking in ignorance and didn't realize the weight of what he/she said on the shoulders of a mother.
There's alot of that going on around here......ignorance that is. I plead guilty of it at times, and I have been the victim of it at times as well.
I apologize for making you mad, but you did misunderstand what I was saying.
btw, no mother of a soldier 'lacks guts.' That's pretty offensive after what I've been through since 2001. And I am exactly the same person in private that I am here on this forum.
I'm sorry for your son's situation. Please provide me with your link again, and I'll read about him. And you will all be in my prayers.
I hope you get your national stage.
Speak only for yourself, Karl. There are many Americans who do NOT respect the Koran or its teachings.
