Full Circle

Currently, on Yahoo! News, there is an article on how the NYPD monitored Muslims throughout most of the North East (which is well outside of their Jursdiction).

You can read it here, and while you are there, read some of the comments. NOTE: They are very biggoted, so if you are sensative, I would avoid skipping the comments.

NYPD monitored Muslim students all over Northeast

One of the points that I find ironic, is the claims by Christains that Muslims want to wipe every other religion off of the planet so they are the only (and in some comments, mandentory) faith of the land.

I have known some Muslin's in my past, and some that I have known that I am Pagan (Wiccan at the time), and they were happy that I found faith, regardless of the label of it. I have never known a Fundamentalist Muslim personally.

Part of me, as a Pagan, wants to respond to the comments that "Karma's a bitch, isn't it?" The Christians making these claims are the kind that see the world in Black & White, they are either the Kings of the World (pun not intended) or the smallest minority having to fight for every "right" they claim are under file.

But then I hold my tounge and thought on it. Back when the inquisiton was in full force, as a member of one of the revivals of the faiths on the perscuted side of those attrocious acts, a word that everything is going to be ok would be a Godsend.

As a Druid, I do not call corners as a Wiccan would, however I do proclaim peace in the four corners/cardnial direction. It would be very contradictory to mock others when I proclaim peace in the World as I set up my grove.

However, the hatred and venom from those who claim to be Christian cannot but hurt me. Claiming to speak for all when they clammor for genocide of an entire people, regardless of their beleifs.


It makes me sad to see such hatred in the world.
It makes me determined to counteract such hatred.
It makes me dream of a world where all are loved and welcomed.
