Ignorance was once Bliss, Today it is Hatred

It's saddening to see that even in our evolved age of human advancement a country of greatness, of pluralism, of honor still will single out and persecute one ethnic community, one religious following, one race due to fear of the threats from a perverted few.

Muslims are not Extremists just as Conservatives are not Jared Loughner, just as Baptists are not Fred Phelps, just as Pagans are not Christian Day.  I learned myself recently that we cannot begin to define a whole by the degeneracy of a scattered fragment.
