Let people grieve!

"I am sickened by the way the media has handled this (Virginia Tech). What kind of cold heartless idiot sticks a mic in someone’s face who just lost a love one and asks 'How do you feel?" Now all the pundits are making this a Gun control debate…shut up already! Let people grieve!

On a more hopeful note, did you catch the PBS special on Being Muslim on America? It’s funny but people who grow up here tend not to 'radicalize' vs. Europeans who do. Most of those interviewed said that it was because of the way they are treated ... food for thought."

Cal,
That is a very insightful piece. You got to the essence of what is wrong with our profit driven, sensationalistic media. It seems the MSM just want to keep us in fear, in fear of each other. Fearful people are easier to control and more willing to buy products of media sponsors.

It is time people realizes we are one global community. As we do to each other, we do to ourselves. We need a renewed sense of community, now more than ever. I pray we are ready to work to make the world a better place.

I did not see that special about European Muslims being more radical than American Muslims. I wonder if they face less descrimination in the USA? Have you read "The World is Flat"?

God Bless you and yours,
