After a terrible attack , I hope everyone will refrain from harshly judging Middle Eastern people, Muslims or other groups.
Accountability means holding the guilty responsible, not attacking everyone with a physical resemblance or the same name for God.
I don't think that American Christians would want to be held accountable for everything done in the name of Christ. Extremeists are in every culture, and do not define the individuals within that culture.
I hate that there are Palestinians who celebrated the carnage. I know enough people from that part of the world to know that the celebration is not universal by any means.

grateful,
I agree. I think that with all ethnic & religious groups there are a few extremists. Those few, unfortunately, get MOST of the publicity. As a result, alot of judgement is formed by those few. I am a devout Christian, and against abortion, but I do not harass/kill those who have or perform abortions. That being said, I do not wish to turn this into an abortion debate, PLEASE keep this focus on the topic, NOT my example. THANKS!
