Thank you for sharing these articles.

We do not see, or at least I don't see, such good will stories in the U.S.

Working and living in the counter culture and the drug world, I learned a fair amount of street smarts. That is to say, I'm pretty good at reading a gang banger or ghetto/barrio member that might do me harm or be an ally.

My problem, and therefore the root of my paranoid suspicion is, I do not know how to read a Muslim.

My son is an electrical contractor. One of his main customers is a Muslim restaurant entrepreneur. That gentleman has contributed much to the success of my son's contracting business. They even live on the same street. They share equal views on our Second Amendment rights.

I wonder if the Muslim gentleman discusses defense with his mosque friends to the same level that my son and I discuss defense with our church friends.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

That's because American mentality is all about boogeymen. Always has been, since way, way back when.

To paraphrase, a paranoid personality disorder does not mean they are not out to get you.

Islam is like humanity - it has many faces. Just like christianity and atheism and the military and anything else.

There is no "real face." Just different visages of the same entity. All should be considered. And should not be mixed or blended.

There is similar stories of everyday Muslims in the USA too you just have to look for them unfortunately.
