re: #961 Gus 802

I was a little hungover. Didn’t watch the TV that morning got in the car and turned on the radio. When it finally sunk in I was yelling like a maniac in the car. It’s embarrassing for me to say this but I immediately thought about internment camps. That lasted about a day and I finally calmed down because I was working alongside somebody from Indonesia who was Muslim.

One of the ladies who worked in my office asked why anyone would do such a thing, and one of the brokers said it was because of their religion. The office manager, an evangelical Christian and Navy reserves man who had served in the First Gulf War leaped in and delivered a brief history of Islam, emphasizing that terrorism was a WARPING of Islam, which, in its best and truest form would not sanction such an action.

I think we were all a little keyed up.
