those people

recently recieved an emial titled "Can a Good Muslim be a Good American?"
I do not know the author so do not have the opportunity to speak directly with him or her
after a list of reasons why, in the author's opinion, a good muslim cannot be a good american (you knew that would be the result didn't you?) the author closes with the observation, "perhaps we should be very suspicious of all muslims."
i suppose an american who is an athiest can live that way, but any american who is also a christian has a higher calling on his or her life
i suggest that the author either never read or has ignored the words in the Bible, "for God so loved the world" and other passages which point to the reality that God not only loves people of all nations, but really wants christians to love people of all nations. God does not want us to become suspecious of a group of people from another religion simply because of the tragedies caused by a very small faction within that group.
if this were true, then people would need to be suspicious of all white, southern christians because of the KKK.
people would need to be suspicious of all white military veterns because of Timothy McVey
people would need to be suspicious of all japanese because of Shoko Asahara

growing suspicious of a group of people because of religious, ethnic, or racial differences is notthing new
it is also nothing good
