The Ummah, the Ummah, and the Ummah
Thanks for the continued dialogue.
Violence flows in history in and among all religions, a historic fact.
But today the focus is on our reactions via the war on terrorism on having been attacked by Islamic terrorists, all well educated, college graduates.
Do you really want to go and live in UK today where hundreds march in the streets of London periodically, men, women, and children, holding up placards saying radical things against your life and well being as non-Muslims?
Great housing, schools, free public health care, and yet the radicalization of and among Muslims is there and growing, not diminishing.
Unless you first understand the Ummah you are off the point entirely, my view, of course.
Ummah or not, this is everywhere...
I'd hate to see this one flare up again

The wildcard is youth and testosterone. Just as young native american warriors would break every treaty their elders agreed to; just as american prisons today are full of young men fueled by testosterone over common sense; just as frustrated young Saudi middle class men leave their homes to travel to Iraq or Afghanistan; young men will seek opportunities to challenge themselves. Though Ireland has had a booming economy, I hope this is more a flash of idle youth over a reignition of unresolved conflict rooted in poor governance. My attention has been elsewhere.
