Think... don't hate.

I think what people fail to realize is that the biggest enemy ISIS has are Muslims. Muslims who live their lives peacefully and don't use their religion to justify violence and hate.  Muslims who were murdered because they would not adopt extremist ideals.  I have close friends who are Muslim and I promise they don't like the association. When the Mexican drug cartels were hanging dead bodies off bridges and leaving heads in coolers for people to find, do you think I wanted someone linking me to that carnage because of my Hispanic heritage? Believe me, I know there are a lot of crazy people who hate this country and some of those groups are extremist and very radical, but because they claim to be Muslim doesn't mean "all" Muslims. Their actions speak quite contrary to what a true Muslim is. Think before you allow yourself to hate. Hate is easy... it feels more powerful than feeling vulnerable... Have courage. Do what's right. Hate and Fear are what got this disease of violence and death started... and what won't let it end.  It all starts with each of us.
