Al-quida @ MindSay

Sad news today about the terrorist attack in London. I firdt heard about it from a perky dj who didn't seem to affected by the news. They were interviewing a lot of people on Cnn but I had to go online to get the beginning of the story becuase news reached the US around 3am and they were reporting on it for most of the day before I knew. Any other day I might have heard sooner but I had the day off.

I heard "somone" say today that thier god must be evil for them to do these things. I said chances are we have the same god just different prophets. Christians follow Jesus, while Muslims follow Muhhamad. I don't think the Muslim faith teaches hatred. It's still so strange to me that those radical groups put their extreemist ideas before human rights. It lacks compassion and love. Human's a rational beings but emotions are always at our core. I think many people in psychology and other fields understand this. That we have subconscious experiences in our emotions. Why some people build their life around love and others around hatred for others I don't know. I don't think good and evil is black and white. But love and compassion is always good.

I think the people in London must be in shock now. Imagine having to wonder if there will be another attack right down the street or in you transportation by timed bombs. If it al-Quida I  think they are fools to strike at a countries symbols. Their intent is probably to make a statement of hatred toward that culture. But it also stimulates patriotism and in their country as well as community pride. Great Britian is a powerful country that will probably not let their challenge go unanswered.

I think that saddest thing is loss of lives and the people left behind. They must be feeling very shocked and a little scared. But I think like after the 9/11 attack they will feel a sense of compassion and charity for their neighbors and friends and help out their community and the victims.

My sister visited London and talked a lot about the "tube," subway, where most of the attacks took place. It was something she enjoyed and she thought they nice and fun to ride to all the tourist locations. She also saw Tony Blair, who I wish were our president for his eloquence, intelligence, and motivating speeches. ::secret crush!" She thought it was a beautiful country with polite people. I wish I could visit. They are very honest people from what I know and that's a quality I admire. I'll know I'll visit one day.
