I don't know why people still don't see that the same people who are innately stupid and gullible enough to cause harm to another innocent human all in the name of religious or tribal differences are still the same people that would still twist&distort anything else just to cause harm to another being.The imam that was willing to risk his life for the sake of others(even tho they could have killed him and still massacred the folks he was trying to protect),is he alien? |
