I can't even begin to understand how these could be questions to anyone. It's bizarre and twisted that people have blamed so many people for the acts of so few and people who were such a radical version of Islam. This is one of the reason I never see myself moving back to America. I'm always grateful for what it gave me and what it allowed me to be but it's embarrassing sometimes.

I adore being in any country where Islam figures prominently simply because find the call to prayer so soothing and respectful. I'm atheist but Islam is one of the few religions I can see the beauty in.

The whole controversy is ridiculous. The terrorists created the idea that this is a holy war, I don't know why we're buying into it. We should be people, regardless of religion, united against terrorists.

I love your icon!

And thanks for that article, it really was touching.

I used to work at a company that had a prayer room.
