Again, I'm not arguing the intention of those who attacked those worshipping in a Mosque. I don't agree with what they did and find it a horrendous act.
However, throwing out terms like "tear-gassed" and other such assumptions about what happened without all the facts only continues a cycle of violence and hate that causes such acts to begin in the first place. People will always react with violence when in fear over something. In your posts lately, you really talk a lot about people just sitting aside and not doing anything, and then how our country is doing downhill daily.
Instead of continuing a cycle which will only get worst, step above that continuing system of fear, hate and violence and work towards making the world better without such emotions. Acceptance, love, understanding, and forgiveness really do have a powerful impact on people. Done correctly it will cause people to change their views and behaviors a lot better. Its definitely not a fast process, nor flawless, but it definitely life a lot more worth living and a society much more desirable to live in.
