Hello, Naeem

While I do not share your beliefs (I'm an atheist myself), I accept your

sincerity. And I agree that "that was a reaction". I even agree that

"many people are trying to hurt Muslims' feelings".

But I most certainly do NOT agree that those people are responsible for

the killings. They only provided an excuse. The people responsible for

the killings are a) the killers themselves and b) the Muslim religious

"leaders" (whatever you call them) who told them it was appropriate.

Further down the list, Mr. Karzai, who publicized the Quran burning (it

was kept very quiet here in the US), and the idiot who did the burning

at the very last.

My point is that the "reaction" was all out of proportion to the

"cause". The fact that someone of one, halfway around the world, burned

a book your faith considers holy in no way justifies a mob attacking the

office of a completely different country and killing innocent people.

We assume that the majority of your people are peaceful. But we wonder

if that can be true when we read of these incidents when bloodthirsty

mobs attack and kill innocent people because someone, somewhere else,

did something that "offended" them. If you burn a Bible today, I can

guarantee you that a Christian mob will NOT attack the nearest Mosque,

and if one tried they would NOT be encouraged by our government.
