Dear David,
I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly with you. My point was not to justify the atrocity that occured...there can be no justification for it. The word Islam, has its derivative from salaam and shalom..it means peace. This was a totally unislamic act.
My point was that the world has become such that individuals with a thought, a hate, will develop their idea of justice, and demand their own "just retribution".
I agree that this act has done more harm to islam than anything else ever did. I just despair that the world is now such that we are going to end in a spiralling of mutual hate and more such evil acts. Then people forget what it is they are supposed to be fighting for, just that there is a fight. This frightens me.
