An Anti-Islamic Jihad

Submitted by Seamus MacNemi (United States), Jan 5, 2009 at 17:30

I have seen it brewing in my community for quite some time now. A sense of frustration with Muslims in general and an unwillingness to grant any leway to Muslim sensibilities. It has not yet reached a point of outright violence against Muslims but the pot simmers on the point of boiling over. It will only take some small provocation to cause the whole thing to erupt into open attacks on Muslims, Mosques, schools and communities. I do not wish for such a thing to happen but at some point I will no longer be able to be a voice for moderation and understanding.
