American View (for fear for my children)

...Protect your children....teach them about the One God....teach them that B. Spears and P. Diddy are not "heros or role models". Show them through example goodness, hope, faith, love....teach them tolerance for differences and most importantly RESPECT.
Not the shallow meaning we all think of when we hear the word respect....teach them how to respect their body, their mind, their life....how it all is a gift. EVERYDAY is a gift and an opportunity to do good deeds...to love GOD.

As for the outcry of muslims....know that their hearts must surely ache and their thoughts must surely be torn with the same fear for their children. Each of us think...I am but one person...what can i do?! At least we can feel the pain in our heart...and ask Allah to help all the children of the world.
