Sandra's Fiberworks said...: I'm embarrassed for my fellow Americans who can show such shallowness and intolerance, that you would have to justify yourself at all with having to even tell this story. My heart goes out to you.; September 11, 2011 at 8:17 PM
Cheryl Z. said...: Beautifully said, Kay. I always appreciate the personal stories of 9-11 & especially appreciate yours. How frightening for you & family.

Today is a tough day for all of us living here OR any place religious & personal freedoms are celebrated & sanity is presumed. We're all horrified when extremist "Christians" bomb abortion clinics in the name of my faith. In the same way, crazy, mass-murder, suicide missions in the name of Allah cause the world to cringe. Extremists of both religious persuasions often frame their fringe behavior as 'religious duty,' which unfairly ties the crazy act to religion. It doesn't help the cause when extremist clerics inflame their followers to the offensive, military-type jihad. Why can't the majority of sane moderates oust such clerics? I mean that as a serious question, Kay. (In my own small protest, I wrote my parish & withheld contributions for 4 years because the church wasn't proactive enough in sending pedophile monsters to a lifetime in jail. I've read that MANY did the same, which probably pushed reform forward.) Personally, I think proactive resistance FROM WITHIN a group is the best way to separate the sane majority from the public's perception of the crazy fringe. But until that happens, we must all remember that very few priests are pedophiles, very few Christians support abortion-clinic terrorists, & very few Muslims agree with violent jihad.; September 11, 2011 at 9:11 PM
