    I had shared a link which showed 32 pages of Muslim communities in mourning
    over the events of 9/11 and public notices of contempt for Osoma be Laden
    and etc. Jay commented:
    "They can show their concern by delivering the terrorists to local law
    enforcement."

    Wow. That reply leaves me speechless. Almost. You are so quick to divide
    humanity into "us" and "others."

    OK. I guess Jesus made a big mistake, then, when he decided to treat a
    Samaritan woman as a human being. Too bad about him. Luckily we know better
    now who our neighbors are -- and who are not our neighbors.

    They can show their concern by delivering the terrorists to local law
    enforcement.

    They do not in part because they sympathize and support them and in part
    because they are terrified of the power and reach of these factions in their
    community, which is far greater than we know, I am sure.
