A thought or two

Sorry to take a political turn here, but I want to say something.

First an Islamic organization wants to build a center of worship near Ground Zero, but was met with emotional and boisterous opposition.  Now a church in Florida is threatening to burn the Quran on Saturday.  

While I grieved right along with everyone else in 2001, I think a lesson that has been lost is tolerance and acceptance of people that are different.  Why all of the sudden is it ok for people to discriminate against and harass people of the Muslim faith.  Americans are going against one of the foundations of this country - religious freedom.  They are using fear, hate and stereotyping to justify this vile, hateful and not to mention instigating behavior.  

Until everyone can accept others for what and who they are this country will never move forward.  I think this is very sad.  We must learn to respect one another even those who having different beliefs.

Now back to your regularly schedule bike blog.
