I heard just about two hours ago on local television in Montauban, where thousands were celebrating the Roman Catholic Holy Day of Assumption at Lourdes, here in France, when a bomb threat displaced everyone participating in addition to nearly a thousand disabled and other unfortunate people from an area worshiping. {No bomb was located}

Yesterday I ran across a comment by a person in the NYT who said (in an unrelated comment), why don't "we" (whoever "we" are) bomb the Eid sometime and "get even" with the Muslims for what they did to so many US buildings, people and military establishments.

This religious-based hatred has gone far enough and long enough. Why cannot people grow up and out of this distrust and displaced feelings for people of other religious sects, cults and "near Christians"; considered as such by the US Government - and worse - by people themselves...and step up to solve real issues plaguing the world; which are so many?

To my mind, I happen to be "color blind" and "religion blind". I could care less if the guy next to me on the train, or plane, or walking down the street, or where he lives, or where he works, or where he worships, or where his place of worship is located, or anything else about him is Muslim, Mormon or Methodist, or anything else! Let him live his or her life just as much as I want to live mine, in peace. I think God loves all of us, and it is a matter of how we live and appreciate others who share this world with us. But, seems humanity will never grow up out of themselves until we all realize the true meaning of life. Someday; and this is a sure thing! [zca]
