Several other folks piped up that it'd been their reaction, too. <br /><br />You abuse them in such a way that they feel like it is their fault, and they deserve far worse than you ever do.<br /><br />(It's possible the gal is indulging in dramatic license. I really hope so.)

Picture the movies where aliens are invading a place, and the cops and gangs both stop fighting and attack the aliens. We got some old quote about it, something like me against my brother, my brother and I against my cousin, and my cousin and I against the world?)Foxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-63230641555485938652018-10-15T14:47:32.701-04:002018-10-15T14:47:32.701-04:00Only issue I have is that the original complaint a...Only issue I have is that the original complaint about "moderate Muslims" is active support of terror groups-- think like the Irish Catholics who sent money to the IRA. <br />It's a serious issue because folks who have no apparent ties to the guys who are shooting at you, and who might themselves be blown up by members of the group, will still give levels of support that in US legal terms would be "accessories to a crime" type aid-and-comfort.<br /><br />I have no idea if it's been hijacked for other uses, only folks I talk to are military/tactical-political consideration types.<br /><br />Very obviously, <i>not</i> what that poor victim of emotional abuse in the paper has done.

However valuable statistics and generalities and trends can be, each individual is just that, an individual, and deserves the respect of being treated as one. Statistics are very useful for identifying large-scale issues, both positive and negative, but tell us nothing about how to resolve a specific situation with a specific individual.
