The Ignorance Rap Is A Wrap

I'm tired of it.
I'm tired of religion being to blame for everything, and, at the same time, being completely ignored. When I go into the PX and buy a Quran, along with the book A History Of God, well, I don't like the fact that I get dirty looks, or have a woman back off four feet from me when she sees it in my basket. These people who are judging an action, or, in other cases, a person completely unknown to them who they run into in a public place, by their religion probably know about as much about the Muslim faith as they do the Baha'i faith, or the Hindu faith, or most others. I suspect many who condemn are less than thoroughly familiar with the religion or faith that they claim.
GOOGLE IT, PEOPLE.
BUY A BOOK.
STOP LIVING IN IGNORANCE!!!!!
I'm so tired of this crap!!!
I am not condoning any one's actions. I do not agree with violence, I do not agree with murder, I do not agree with that nonsense. I do not agree with HATE.
I do not agree with HATE and I do not agree with IGNORANCE.
I especially do not agree with those who use their ignorance to excuse their hate.
The media is not a source of reason, it is a source of opinion. Some of the opinion has fact and maybe even a little reason mixed in there. As human beings, we have, not the right, but the responsibility to separate these things and to judge what is fact and what is opinion for ourselves, and to refrain from passing judgment on others.
I'm sure I'll get lit up for this one, so go on ahead.
