"A couple of years from now, the whole tragedy will be a made-for-t.v-movie and either well be merrily driving our gas-guzzling SUVs (unconciously dropping coins into the enemys collection can)-:"
I take it you mean the Arabs are the enemy. Right after the Oklohoma bombing I was at a fast food restaurant where I noticed the commotion. I asked what happened and the guy at the counter said "Those damn Muslims blew up the Oklohoma City building". I am not into religion but I guess I can be considered one of those damn muslims (I'm Turkish). I figured it would be better to keep quite but I said to myself "How do you know so easily?". A day after that an arab family's home was attacked by an angry mob and a pregnant woman lost her baby. And we all learned who did it soon afterwards.
Listen I don't mean to say that it was extremist in America, but please don't jump to conclusions and blame a whole society/religion. It is probable that Extreme Islamic organizations are behind this but this does not mean, Arabs or Muslims are your enemy. The world is not as simple as that. There are sick, demented people in every society (one of them blew himself up two days ago in Istanbul, taking three people with him and injuring 20) and this is what makes it so scary. There is no clear enemy, they can be anyone, they can be anywhere, anytime. It is up to the civilized world to eradicate this evil as well as the conditions which create it in the first place, like hunger, poverty and injustice. I know it's easier said than done but there really seems no other way to stop this madness from happening again in the future.
