And we must never allow terrorists to take our freedom.

sorry, by up through history I meant also now as well... but my main point is that true religion has nothing to do with terrorism. 

It's so easy to blame a religious group for these acts... but if the people who did such terrible things were actually religious these things wouldn't be happening. 

But I'm not here to fight, that was never my point, and especially not now. 

The 'problem' here is that people in my country blame all moslem people or even people who look slightly different. That is breeding racism when an innocent teenage girl wearing a scarf can't cross the street without some idiot shouting 'terrorist' at her. 

That is my problem. 

I experienced it myself a few times over the years... even had bottles thrown at me from a moving car and racial slurs shouted at me... despite being from a Danish family. I happen to have darker hair and dark eyes, and tan pretty well in the summer... (I have a feeling my father might have had Spanish genes, who ever he is). 

So yeah. Sorry if I don't like people blaming a whole group of people for the actions of a few. 

I am too tired to argue about this, but not everything is blared out to the media, and what about the drone attacks on civilian settlements or where civilians were accidentally in middle eastern countries etc. by western armies? 

I don't want to argue either, I tried to make a simple note that you can not just blame one 'religion' or one 'race'. 

This is not the time for fights. 

And I'll leave now. 

No, you are right. That weren't Muslims. Once more I didn't judge the Islam. And I don't judge Christians or Jewish people or any other religion. I don't blame a religion or a race. I blame rads who drag their religion or race into the dirt.

I was really scared by this when I heard it on the news this morning on my way to work, because my brother and his wife and youngest child was in Nice yesterday. They sent Snaps of the parade. So I quickly sent him a text and luckily they had retired to their hotel (in a different city) earlier, so they weren't there when it happened.

Horrible, though. I can't think about it too much, because it's just too horrific. Innocent lives, dying for no reason. Coward's way of attacking.
