Yesterday in the newspaper I read that it appears that not only are the detainees at Gitmo not all Afghans or Saudis (we all knew that) but they are also not all Muslim! It is thought that at least three of them are Christian. If this turns to be true, then surely we must rethink how we view these people to some degree as it is no longer the 'evil Muslims'(in our mindS) out to get the 'great western infidels'(in theirs).
I leave the question to you....does the fact that apparently a few Christians (or at least non-Muslims) also feel that westerners need to be eradicated change in any way how you feel about the present situation on terrorism? Does it make you more uneasy? Upset? Appalled? Indifferent?
