First, they’ve inflicted a lot of pain on people in the past ... and as they say in some circles, whatever goes around... Second, I lack empathy for any people who sit back and do nothing about the riptide that is Islam; I include the USA and all western nations plagued with political correctness derangement syndrome ... a self-inflicted wound to the soul of man.<br /><br />On a happier note, I’m glad to see that the ranks are closing in to help Mr. AOW and yourself.
