Exactly! So what if they were muslims, these people did no harm to anybody. They were all there for a holy pilgrimage and none of them deserved to die. Why so much hate towards a community just because there a few bad apples (ok more than few) scattered around the world? The level of Islamophobia and the attitude of a few people is just disgusting and sickening!!!

On 11 September 2001 I was troubled to see people around the world celebrating over the death of so many good people.

Honestly I'm just about as troubled at folks in a celebratory mood over the deaths of so many people who had nothing to do with what we're angry about.  Maybe there were some in the crowd, but I'd like to think that we don't stoop to the same level.

I don't have it in me to just generally hate any group of people but I do believe strongly that if one raises a gun or other weapon towards the U. S. of A. that person should be quickly eliminated.  I would even stretch it to anyone who threatens to do so, but not to crowds of devotees of any particular religion just because.
