Perhaps you are right. I don't see how this event is consistent with what I know about Islam, nor have I ever met a Muslim who celebrated it.
I don't see it as consistent with Islam either. Nor do I see the abortion doctor killings as consistent with Christianity, nor the inquisition. Different people interpret religions in different ways and any religion is susceptible to this corruption, unfortunately.
Maybe I have been looking for an alternative explanation because I do not support terrorism or unjustified killing of innocent people.
I don't support the unjustified killing of innocents either, but I don't see how this explains you wanting to believe that the US government did such a thing or for anyone to believe that it was impossible that a group of terrorists could have done it. I hope, though, that what we both want is the truth, not just to hear what makes us feel better about ourselves.
For the sake of the porcelain God you worship
Are you saying that he throws up a lot?
It's indeed better to stand for what you believe and be hated for it, than b a hypocrite and still be hated for it
It is better to stand for what you believe in with dignity. There is also nothing wrong with treating those who believe different than you with a modicum of respect.
