Such a thoughtful and compassionate thing to do, Chris! You're a good man.

In America, many neighborhood folk would peek at that house from behind closed curtains, gossip about the occupants and wonder if they were terrorists, and probably go out of their way to avoid the place. It sure would be nice to see a major culture change for the better here.

It would have been a perfect action in the sense of Taoism - if I should have NOT talked about it in public.

But my virtues are not perfect...

It is always the same old predjudice story, mpholland. We may understand it to some degree, but we can not tolerate that. These people from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan emerge here in our little protestant Black Forest town from a strange culture, and a strange religion. But if we get in close contact with these poor creatures with all their traumatic experiences they still have in mind for sure (I saw these traumata in the eyes of the boy), we can hardly maintain a rude, unhuman attitude towards them. But such a close contact should not be necessary for people with a common sense in order to Welcome political refugees as brothers and sisters.

Many people "behind closed curtains", and not only in America, Christs, pollute the ten commandments by their behaviour. By the way, I am no Christ, I am an Eclectic who tries primarily to follow the principles of Taoism as far as possible.

In New York we had the "Blind Sheikh" and the "Twin Towers".

My neighbor went to work and did not return.

I promised some "Blue Mountain Coffee" to two firemen and when I carried it to the station in Brooklyn they both were missing.

New York lost 343 firemen in the "Twin Towers".

We went to bed with the Mujaheddin and gave the "Blind Sheikh" a green card.

No, just putting the "In America" (post #12) in perspective.

"HEUTE SIND WIR ALLE AMERIKANER!"

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in his press conference on 9/11/2001, expressing the sympathy of the German people.

We should always consider that the attacks exactly 14 years ago had not been carried out by Muslims. They had been carried out by Islamists. I wish people all over the world would start to see people primarily as human beings and not as members of a certain religion or race. That would make it much easier to accept political refugees without predjudices.
