Regarding the in-class discussion on last Friday, I feel most people did not speak because of their own spiritual belief. It is so difficult to not let religious understandings and worldly debates interfere. The main point of this reflection is to say that I really learned a lot that I never would have guessed.
I guess the main controversy is about how most Christian Americans are letting our faith have a sense of biased feeling towards the very same violent religion that killed 3,000 Americans. Personally I do not feel this is fair. I feel that Islam needs to "police" their own religion more, but until then they will remain a stereotype.
In Europe, Muslim soldiers burn down and destroy orthodox churches and build or recreate a mosque as a sign of victory in place of the church. Indirectly, this is occurring right in front of our eyes. Although the WTC was not a place of religion, it was an American's feeling/building of growth and freedom but then to be disrespectful and what to build a mosque of the same faith that murdered all of those people is not right in anyway.
