I was not a "gleeful" embracer as you referred to in the article, but I was a scared Christian of European decent who wondered what he meant by his words. Now it makes alot of sense. The media certainly succeeded when they framed his words to remind us all of terrorism. They struck the cords of fear in us and I for one find that very alarming. I know that after 9-11 I expressed to my friends and co-workers how easily the media can demonize a group of "religious fanatics". I know what the attackers did that day was wrong but they did it because they have deep pains from injustices they have seen in their lives that they feel that we as Americans are responsible for. I think we all agree that they were wrong in their attempt to take the place of the Lord in dealing out justice, but I was amazed by how easy the media could have inserted Christians who believe the Bible into their stories and accomplished the same thing. This would be an example here. Thank you for this post.
