I'm guessing she is there to learn. Only people who hate would think she is there to cause trouble... If you want to know why, read on! This issue of peaceful majorities is not hard for me to understand. I have seen these things all over the world, from the US to China. The government takes advantage of the mostly peaceful people...and they are irrelevant, they do nothing. It is far past time for another revolution. This is true in both nations and many more...but it is not happening. It is wrong. The Christian majority in America are told to turn the other cheek and not to judge...yet they do. They promote many things to their own benefit and to the detriment of others. This is wrong. Atheists complain about people 'forcing religion on them' while they ridicule and condemn believers as idiots, expecting them to disregard their religion and believe as the Atheists do - and then expect to be treated as intelligent, fair and honest. They expect what they do not offer. This is wrong. The Muslims, however, have a different ideology and I'm not talking about radicals, I am talking about the peaceful majority. They are told by their book that they cannot judge, that God ('Al Lah' which, literally means 'The God...yes, the SAME God, the Abrahamic God) is the judge and that they too will be judged, so they had better be much wiser than God if they choose to do so, which they aren't and they don't. All those people screaming about peaceful Muslims doing nothing....NOW you know why. It is not their responsibility. They are responsible for themselves...as everyone is. They are just as angry about these radicals destroying their belief from the inside out as Theists, Atheists, Agnostics and others. Unfortunately, they are in no position to do anything - because it could risk their own salvation. They do what they are supposed to. This is right. When you have the peaceful majority of a religion, like Christianity, calling for the condemnation of another faith, like Islam, because of a few radicals...and no respect for the others who are a peaceful majority, you get one majority doing wrong and the other doing right. You cannot prove yourself right if you are a majority doing the wrong thing when the other majority is doing the right thing. This is ignorance and will never be accepted by intelligent people. If one wants to be wise, fair and intelligent, they should not condemn the entire group for the actions of a few. If we all did, I'm quite sure we would all be victims at some point. It is intellectually irresponsible and foolish to condemn a person for acts they did not commit and are not even guilty of by association...only by belief, which is actually NOT the same belief as those who are doing wrong...even if they call it by the same name. How many Christians do we know who bomb abortion clinics? There have been several. Is this the kind of Christian the majority in America are? I don't think so. Are they the kind of Christians that judge and paint everyone by the same brush? Yes, apparently, many are. This is wrong. If so, it should be no surprise that Muslims see others just as others see them...and there will never be a happy resolution to such idiocy. There is nothing gracious, good or intelligent about it. There is no difference at all. That is a fact. One needs only a mind free of bias and hatred to see it. Unfortunately, people are programmed by their cultures...cultures that are old, antiquated and developed by people much less intelligent than we should be acting. Maybe people are just getting lazy. Simply ask someone if religion is a part of culture or not to know whether they are true believers or not. If they are, they will say no, God is much bigger than culture, Earth and even the Universe, itself. This is a true believer. If one follows religion based on culture, it is not God they follow at all, it is public opinion. They worship society. This is not religion...this is a popularity contest. Only the misguided are foolish enough to do this. Something to think about....and please think hard, because I am very tired of this old, ridiculous argument. It is the same with Governments pointing fingers at each other, people pointing fingers at each other and manifests itself, in so many unfortunate ways, throughout the human race - and it needs to stop. My apologies for the long speech, but this is a very important issue to me, regardless of whether I am a believer or not, and should be debated until there is a resolution that doesn't end in perpetuating the problem after millions more have died. Religious conflict and infighting has caused more death on this planet than all the wars combined - many of which started for those very reasons. This is all I have seen my entire life...and it is not the kind of planet I want to live on. Be good to each other...and be fair. Everyone is in just as much of a struggle as you are. That struggle is called Life. Live it correctly, live it well...and it will bring you happiness. ;) (y) [Thanks for sharing this, Christy White...] :)
