Well...sorry Hend, not good enough. Not goddamn good enough to demand justice for the dead. Time for you to open your cake hole and tell the world that you believe that violent Islamic radicals and their caliphates are common thug murderers with no legitimate cause who have twisted a vulnerable belief system into a worldwide scourge. And I lay much of it at the hands of passive Muslims like you, Hend. You need to despise them as much as everybody else does...and wishing the families of the slaughtered some peace is a day late and a dollar short.
If headcase Christians were beheading people and walking into public places and slaughtering innocent human beings while screaming "Jesus is Lord!!!", I suspect the reaction from decent Christians all over this country would be considerably more intense and critical of the twisting of their religion than the half-assed comments we've been getting out of the worldwide mainstream Muslim community for the past half-century.
Now I'm gonna tell you a story about the day Dr. King was shot. The blonde was teaching her elementary school class on the west side of Chicago when the sound of gunfire filled the neighborhood and it went up in flames. The kids were all sent home and the staff was advised to get out of the neighborhood immediately. Her old Opel Kadett got as far as the corner of California and the Eisenhower when the clutch cable snapped. She coasted into a little gas station on the corner. Three old black men (probably the age I am now), pushed her car into the station, and hid her in the rest room. They called the school and found the last remaining teacher, on his way out, who drove over, picked her up and got the hell out of there. These three guys were in tears over the loss of Dr. King, and then... they apologized to her for the behavior in their community, and for her being so terrified. When she got back to the school the following week, she walked over to the shop and they had already repaired her car. She had to insist they take 50 bucks for the cost of the repair and for and keeping her safe. She'll never forget those guys.
