Rant 2: We need a moment of peace and compassion.

It seems that my fellow Americans are turning into Terrorists, not all of them but a good amount, the scary ones in particular are coming out of the woodwork. We have a constitutional right to freedom of Religion. When Americans start picketing houses of worship they are in the wrong. When They start sending death threats to holy people they are in the wrong.
What is happening?
It can't just be the Fox News/tea party/Koch Brothers' evil mechanizations, there is something fundamentally wrong here. The rise of true Evil seems to be taking hold over the nation, and there are many people attempting to stop it but we need a symbol to rally around. In some ways the Cordoba House could be a symbol of true interfaith cooperation. If the Christian Churches, Jewish Synagogues, Pagan groups, and such all came together to hold a prayer meeting or at least a press conference in brotherhood with the Muslim's in the area that would make a huge difference in the way the "common man" sees the community center.
Hell, if I could I would be up there now picketing the picketers. I'm not Muslim, I have some problems with their views on Homosexuality but i will not stand and allow other bigots to interfere in their constitutional rights. That makes me a bad person, a bad American.

With all of the hate and terror in the world today, why do we allow Fox News and their ilk stoke the flames of hatred and violence. There has to be some rules governing rabble rousing and warmongering.

Please if you can do what you're able to help your fellow Americans to understand that what they are doing is destroying the very fabric of America.

Sort of a Rant, but not really.

Firstly I want to apologize for my lack of posting. I just ran out of words there for a bit.

Ignorance is NOT bliss and the Ignorant are not blissful


I am full of pique at the people of America who are condemning the Muslim cultural center in Manhattan, and Mosques around the country. If they would only stop being led by Fox News and the right wing fuckwads who spread hate, they might realize that all Muslims are not the cause for the Terror attacks of 9/11 any more than all Catholics are responsible for Priests who molest children. The thought is ridiculous and honestly shows how far our fellow American's minds have degraded.
We have a constitution that states there is religious freedom in America. No one has the right to block or even fucking protest the erection of a place of worship, no matter who they are. My fellow pagans, mystics, spiritualists, etc. we need to stand up to the Christian power base on this and protest their protestations.
While my personal opinions of Islam are very strong I will not allow anyone to abuse a minority group who has done nothing to us. The majority of Muslims I know are good and loving people who don't deserve any of this crap.
If this were a Wiccan cultural center and this was happening I know just about everyone I know would be up in arms, writing letters, raising funds and protesting the people against the center. There is really no difference here. The Muslim people as a group did NOT cause 9/11 and deserve some peace from the constant persecution they are experiencing It's not right more than a little evil and definatly UNAMERICAN.
