now it’s the Muslims, maybe the Hindus, or the Buddhists. I’m so damn tired of bigotry. Why not have everybody just give it up for a year or so. What a radical, unchristian notion: next thing you know people will start practicing the Golden Rule! How un-American can you get?

Hate speech does cause violence. I still believe moderate Christians, Muslims and Atheists far outnumber the violent fanatics looking for an excuse to commit mayhem, but we need to be more visible and audible.

Yes, it could have been accidental, but the fact that they’d been receiving hate mail in the time running up to the fire kind of tips the odds towards arson. The fire captain did say that they aren’t ruling anything out at this point.

I am so sad and feel sick each time I see hatred raising it’s head.The actions of destruction come from those full of hatred brought on by fear which are learned, Unfortunately, many people don’t care to know the truth so they continue to perpetuate their ignorance onto generations to come. Terrorism is never acceptable; not matter who is commiting the acts. People need to get some education and understanding about the Muslim religion, their true beliefs and culture (which are tied together) so they can end their unfounded fears and growning hate. Understanding brings about peace and love. The most important commandment is to love one another (all mankind). And oh, yes, I agree with Stephen Henry’s above. The history is so true and these crimes need to be agressively prosecuted.

My first response to this very tragic story is – was it really an act of arson, or an accident ?

The above story does not make that clear at all, right now the incident is under investigation.

“Its Kansas” is also a form of deragatory silliness, but never the less, turning on the water and sending leaflets with the culmination of burning down a mosque is not a regional for of hatred. It is hatred, bitgotry and stupidity pure and simple and reflects a growing bitterness between Christians and Muslims in this nation when we should be finding a common ground.

Well, its Kansas. You kind of have to expect that from a state which encourages progeny from incest. It’s the only explanation you can have for their elected officials.

Turning on the hose spigot to run up their water bill? That’s a truly nefarious and serious form of protest.

These people get more and more pathetic as the days go by.

And then they bomb the place. And remind us just how dangerous they are.

I’ll take the water bill any day of the week, thank you.

With all the hatred being whipped up against Muslims by blogs and radio shows, it is no surprise that pea-brained, cowardly individuals would target Muslims. Ideas and words have consequences. 100 years ago, Black men were being tortured and lynched weekly by mobs who were incited by racist demogogues. Today Muslims are the target. The Federal Government needs to aggressively prosecute these criminals and hate-mongers.

“Burning down the playground?” As terrible as that is it is also really really pathetic.
