The madness in our world is happening all around us: in Syria, in Bulgaria, in Aurora Colorado, and even in Timbuktu.

There will never be an end to extremists. We only have to find ways to deal with them.

These are crazy people who don’t relate to Islam by any mean! Ugh It’s so frustrating for me as a Muslim to see such stupid extremists destroy the image of our religion like that and talk about these insane ideas of what is “haram” then do whatever they want upon them.

Thank you for posting this in an objective view of the situation, Tafline.

Regarding the destruction of the mud architecture: what a terrible shame. Regardless of the motive for the act or the current or previous use of the destroyed object, this is an act of violence. I’m glad I got to see it in this blog before the damage occurred, so thank you for reporting on it, even though it is just a heartbreaking thing to learn about.

I usually refrain from responding to comments like this, and would normally – in the case of such blatant discrimination – stick them in the trash where they belong. But I would like it to be on the record that I consider this to be one of the most ignorant responses I’ve seen to date. Only someone who knows nothing of Islam could be capable of such a simplified and hateful remark. Next time I’ll not only delete comments like this but I’ll ban the person who makes them.
