Un altre català, veig!
 
I can presume you live in the old part of Barcelona, don't you?

I had decided not to talk about the events on 9/11th anymore, but I must agree with Francesc in what is turning into a criminalization of muslims and arabian people. Do I have to say that this is exactly what the terrorist have done? Generalise, criminalize the whole western citizens for what some of them have done, still are doing to them.
 
I have decided to break silence because I'm sick of racism, stupidity, revenge and so on. And those americans who have attacked and sieged their arabian american neighbours show they get what they deserve each time one of them is killed or attacked, in spite of my refusal to this way of acting. There's a lot of racism in the american society, like the events after Pearl Harbor. Third generation japanese americans into concentration camps, while their italians, the german neighbors arrived roughly fifteen years before the conflict remained free just because of their color.
 
I only feel pain for innocents and I still hope bin Laden, the taliban, or whoever is behind those criminal acts get what they deserve.
 
I have also broken silence to make you know my friend's wife has been included in the official missing people list and express how my pal has made me know he's feeling now.

Though I'm not a believer, I think yours is an
excellent idea. I can understand what many people are
feeling now, but a violence scalade is not the
solution. This is just the moment to stop violence and
to understand that humankind is a whole and not a
group of good ones fighting against a group of bad
ones.

In addition, I must to say I live in a neighbourhood
where Muslims are the majority. I don't know what they
think nor what they say or do inside their homes, but
I haven't see NONE of them making NO demonstration of
joy.

Francesc.
