Indeed.
A bullet through a window. Firebombs. Death threats. These acts have
been perpetrated by a tiny fraction of both US and Canadian citizens
against our own Arab/muslim communities (and against those
misidentified as such). These acts are shameful, cowardly, terrorist
acts. These acts spread fear among our citizens, causing parents to
keep their children home from school, causing children to fear
expressing their faith, denying many the simple solace of gathering
together to pray.
How terribly terribly sad that so many of our own citizens have their
shock and horror and fear and pain compounded by this additional
threat. How alone and isolated they must feel. We must not stand by and
hope that things settle down. We must stand up for our fellow
citizens and stand beside them. We must all be ever vigilant against
the fear and hatred that comes from within as well as without.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
