Speaking before listening

Again my passion for America and for justice has forced me to open my mouth before listening to the whole story. You were one of many marines and soldiers that I prayed would have a safe return from war. I'm glad you're home and back in the warm glow of family again. My thanks to you for your service.

I suppose I must try to look at Islam from a different angle. All Muslims on these web sites say the same thing, that Islam is about peace. Try to understand that the only contact I have with Muslims is what I get from TV. I promise, because of you, that I will do some unbiased research on my own.
