It's very disheartening that during this time of year, every year, in the Islamic calendar I see an uptick in displays of terrorism and violence. Periods best spent on personal spiritual growth and development are rejected in favor of harming others.
We're harming others, and we're harming ourselves even more in the process.
To our Christian posters and friends, I cannot express the right words. I want you to feel safe and secure in your homes, businesses and places of worship. Just living our lives as Muslims, punching our clocks, paying our taxes... it's not really enough to address what's going on. I want to be able to help, but I really don't know the appropriate or effective way to combat this pathology.
