Don't be defensive. At least not here. We know that not only did you not do it, but that your religion doesn't condone it.
Like Christianity and Shintoism, Islam has been the basis for a lot of death and destruction. If the followers who claim they are doing it out of divinity actually followed the precepts of their religion, there wouldn't be much by way of war.
Unfortunately, humanity gets in the way of everything. We need justification for our actions, and at times we require justification that cannot be argued with, at least from our perspective. God is a hard man to argue with.
Just in case no one has told you, CH, you have my unqualified faith and support in you and your religion. I do not know a lot about Islam, don't actually care to, but I know enough that the muslim family up the street are good, decent people and they don't deserve what's happening to them any more than anyone deserves a terrorist attack.
I wish that everyone would understand that just because we have some muslim nations as our enemies that muslims themselves aren't our enemies. Particularly those who live with us. You can't tell an enemy by the color of their skin or by their religion.
