[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have nothing constructive to say really, but I want to add that the anti-muslim sentiments based on the actions of a few make me sad and angry.  I guess I wish that the quiet majority of which I have to believe I am a part was able to be louder than the very vocal fear- and hate-mongering few (I'm looking particularly at you, Fox News).[/quote]

I hear ya.

But...when people say horrible things about Catholics and try to paint the entire church in a bad light thanks to the actions of a rather small group (hello pedophile priests and the evil asshats who covered it up), I take it on the chin and take it in stride. I don't whine about it because the critics have legit rocks to throw at the church. I never try to explain it or justify it. And perhaps most importantly, I wouldn't stay in a parish that condoned such horrific acts. I've also spoken out on the subject through letters to the archdiocese and face to face with several priests.

I know this isn't a perfect analogy, but I think it's fair to say that folks should understand why others might form some sort of opinion about them based on their affiliations---any affiliation: religion, political, country club, etc. And its on you to either own it or disprove it. [/quote]
