Reply #33: T. McVeigh blew the front third of the Federal Building in

[jtuck004]

Oklahoma City off the map, killing 168 people including the nursery of kids, and "bald guy" placed a bomb full of nails so it would cause the most casualties during the Martin Luther King Day parade in Spokane. These happend in places where I was living at the time. From what I have been able to read, BOTH of them had a Christian background. Add in the KKK and their ilk, often found in the pews of the Baptist churches on the weekend (and yes, they are still around), except when they are out setting off bombs that kill little girls in other people's churches.

There were scores of incidents of harassment, beating, and assault on Muslims in OKC even after McVeigh was arrested and identified. CNN even continued to report a potential Muslim connection, which there never has been.

So beyond bigotry and hatred, personal assaults and other assorted violence, this kind of attitude, the repetitive lies, make people think there is danger where there is not, and no danger when it exists. They forget the next terrorist, the one that might take out your family, could get missed 'cause they have it in their mind that the enemy can't look like them.

They are very, very wrong.
