they are the ones causing the divide and spreading hate. have faith in the good. there is more good then bad and it is a battle we are winning and good will always out win the bad as there are more good then bad.

this will not make this disappear but there has been evil since day dot and we have to live with this.

Women are oppressed and denied education and even medical treatment in some Islamic countries. I know that all Muslims aren't terrorists, I know that the vast majority of Muslims in the west don't support terrorism... but by the same token, terrorists are supported and hidden by Muslims in the west. Look at what happened in Pakistan this week, a playground full of children who were not Muslim were seen as legitimate targets for these people. Look at the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram. Look at the females sold into sex slavery by IS. How could anyone not have a problem with Islam when such terrible things are done in its name?

I don't have a problem with Christianity, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists or any other religion that is not waging war against us.
