Peace all human beings want is to be free to choose how they want to live. America stands for that to many people all over the world. I was born here and grew up in Brooklyn USA New york. I loved the multi cultural aspect of our neigborhoods. all you had to do was respect the next man. When you did not respect you had problems. People feel about themselves deeply and react to those who arogantly infringe their juice on them. So you had to learn what made an orthodox jewishman tick why the Irish guy gets teed off about this or that what causes this Italian gang to roll like that with violence. You had to know that you did not go around smacking people because you didnt like their way of living. You did'nt tell people how they should live you knew in those streets that they cmae here to be free to be themselves. There are some who have given preciousness to American LIFE all life is precious and priceless and deserves respect and honor. Tyrants have existed on the planet since Cain and before. Each individual has the choice to be a tyrant even to himself. Your religion does not make you a tyrant. If your religion is oppression you are not living ISLAM you are using Islam to shield yout true reigion. There are people of many religions who use that religion to opress people. The Ku Klux Klan used Christianity to terrorize xslaves in this country. Jesus never told anyone to hang people to burn their houses down. Jesus did not teach that may the peace and blessing of Allah forever be upon Him. People use Islam and say this is our interpretation of this or that. This is history and human nature to distort concepts and principle to fit their schemes and plans. It is as old as man himself. What makes you a tyrant is a desease in your heart. Not your color your religion all these are just labels today that people use. It was true during times of old and is true today.
