my ideas of troubled people have changed, i used to think anyone that did anything troubling, was troubled, or just plain out of their minds.  people do bad things for what they think are good reasons, out of selfishness, jealousy, etc, there are millions of reasons. sane people are capable of doing horrific things. its a scary thought, but we need to protect ourselves.

When people think of the term 'troubled,' they sometimes equate it with some sort of mental handicap, or the result of a terrible upbringing. To me, these people are somewhat troubled because they are so easily pursuaded to join these groups and perform unthinkable acts. If they were flies, we wouldn't just wave our hands to shoo them away. They would be swatted immediately . . .

I am erally saddened to read that in Sydney people are persecuting innocent people who are just trying to live their lives in a free World, Women especially.

I actually read that same article, Naut, and the man is right. The Muslims living in oue western world are in hot water...many who have opened thier eyes are insisting that these people declare where they are, one side or the other. It has come to that...our side and their side.

I believe as well that Allah's Soldiers are true believers as well.

Well, even if they are not "troubled", they trouble me.  I don't worry about them for myself, but what kind of world are they making for my grandchildren and their children.  It is ugly, ugly stuff.
