Worth repeating

A friend of mine posted this recently. Well said!

Just to clarify for some cultures around the world that seem confused about this, people who die for their faith while exercising compassion and caring for others are called martyrs. People who die for their faith killing or attempting to kill others are not.

And since we're on the subject, it's worth pointing out this take on the controversy over the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque:"

Until our laws are changed to recognize that Islam is incompatible with Western peaceful life and take appropriate action to limit its spread within our own borders, arguing about where one additional mosque is built is trivial, myopic and imbecilic.
