An act of stupidity...

Time has come once again to remember 9/11. Obviously this was a terrible act of terrorism. The Dove World Outreach Center of Gainesville, Florida, has announced that they will hold an "International Burn a Koran Day" on the ninth anniversary of September 11. What were they thinking?

Firstly, this is obviously an act that will further increase the conflicts between the USA and the Muslim world. Secondly, this is an attack on all Muslims, which shows an ignorant view of all Muslims as terrorists and religious fanatics. This is not the case.

Fear of the outside world

In a kind of pathetic attempt to discredit Obama, the Clinton's campaign organization dug up and published a photo of Obama wearing a traditional muslim dress. The fact is just that this does not show that Obama is muslim, but rather that he has realtives in Kenya and has been there visiting.

However, if there is one country where this action could be successful it would be the USA. A country that since 9/11, and to some extent before that, has been displaying a large fear of muslim people and culture. Which in itself is a frigthening development in a country claiming to be one of the world's largest democracies and a leading power.

I doubt that this picture will have any large effect on the elections. I believe that the only winner when democrats are fighting amongst each other are the other side, the republicans. Thus, it is kind of contraproductive in some ways. A united democratic front would be better in the end.
