Ahhhh now infidels now have to work on their "tolerance":
Tolerance needed: No blame belongs to Muslims, Bosnians
Tribune Editorial
It's been five days now since a lone gunman walked through Trolley Square mall shooting at will, shooting to kill. Six dead, including the killer. Four wounded. Many more emotionally scarred.
As a community, we're still coming to grips with the tragedy. Candlelight vigils have been held. Memorial services are being scheduled. Flowers have been laid. For the families of the dead, and the family of the shooter, life will never be the same.
For the other victims - the wounded, the witnesses, and the traumatized who hid or fled the mall in fear - the recovery process will be long, slow, painful.
For the rest of us, we're over the shock, we're working on the anger, we're getting around to the blame.
Now it's time to work on our tolerance.
The murderer was one Sulejman Talovic, age 18, deceased, of Salt Lake City. He was a Muslim, true. He was a Bosnian refugee, yes. He was deeply disturbed, no doubt. But, and this is very important, he was just one man.
Those five innocent victims were not murdered by Bosnians. They were not murdered by Muslims. They were not murdered by refugees. They were murdered by Sulejman Talovic - one man, an individual, acting alone. His actions reflect on Sulejman Talovic, and Sulejman Talovic alone.
Not all Bosnians are murderous. Not all Muslims are violent. Not even close.
There are no indications that religion or politics had anything to do with the tragedy. Some people can't get that through their heads. Some people are blinded and crippled by bigotry.
On Internet blogs and talk radio shows; via e-mails and phone calls; the dumbest among us are showing their dark side. "Who let you in?," and, "Will you kill us?," are questions being asked of Bosnians by their co-workers.
While there's really no need, members of the Bosnian community have done their best to apologize.
"We're so sorry for the families that had to go through this and that it had to be a Bosnian who did this," said Meliha Fejzic of West Valley City.
"People are shocked and people are saddened," said Bisera Turkovic, Bosnia's ambassador to the United States, speaking for her people. "We owe this country much."
Enough said. Apology accepted. It's time to move on. It's time to work on our tolerance.
While the media continue to peddle the idea that Americans are stupid and intolerante moslems continue to walk amongst us and plan their jihad...
No, the time is not for tolerance, the time to really understand the jihad and the media has formed an unholy alliance with enemies of the United States of America.Pertinent Links:
