Ground, center, visualize World Peace...what more can we do?

..."That which does not kill us makes us stronger"...

Please see my comment i made at another discussion forum - Firstly, Islam was not 2000 years before Jesus Christ, it was almost 500 after - before you set about criticising and condemning a race of people, you ought to at least know the basics...i.e. which century you're talking about. Of course it is absolutely catastrophic and intolerably unacceptable that anyone would presume to desecrate my country and the country of my fellow Britons but when saying that, although i say it with great pride and honour at being a Briton myself, i am careful not to alienate or segregate my friends as a result their Muslim, black, Asian, Sunny, Shia or any other minority division. Don't get me wrong, i detest political correctness as i believe it only serves to engulf and stiffer the common debate but i believe before making profound and un-substantiated and volatile remarks, ones ignorance ought first to be brought into question. James.

Look for ways to actively lobby for the end of conflict, increased diplomacy, and sane world interactions... by joining organizations, groups and activists who address this and other issues with more than wishes...

sponsor an emmigrating family

volunteer with a relief organization

Vote

Volunteer with a political org that works towards peace

etc...

You could dialogue with this boys parent(s) and ask how you can help...

I think the lack of answers indicate that we just don't know what to say. It takes us out of our comfort zone and leaves us speechless. I had lunch yesterday with a man who grew up in Ethiopia. As he described to me the differences between day to day life in America and Ethiopia I found myself losing my ability to respond. I have never experienced hunger. Never. I have never experienced war either.

What I do have is the privledge of living in a country where I can not be punished for what I say. I have the obligation then to state my truth to those who may be in a position to influence. Ground, center, visualize - and write - your newspaper, your representatives, and anyone else who comes to mind and state your position. Peace.

Oh...common, suck amount of Bollocs//

Tell this to 1 million muslims killed by muslims in Irak, to the Muslims death by Palestinian hands, and so on to the 500 000 in Somalia...

To the more than 1000 in jail in London and to all the rest awful attitude muslims I cross everyday in London.

Poetry takes you nowhere dude, put the feet on the ground.

hard question, i would say try to come to America, and you will teach him about a man that says don't kill, love everyone? lead him to the Lord. Thank God we live in America, its not perfect, but its still the best place in the world to live.

A 17 year old in that enviroment isn't a boy-- he's a man.

What does he need to get out and how can he get it?
