Column misses full picture

Regarding the Oct. 31 edition, "Seek answers instead of wallowing in ignorance" column by Joe Sullivan.

I do agree with much of Mr. Sullivan's column, especially regarding proper manners, etc. I can't help, however, but wonder if Mr. Sullivan has taken any note of the many acts of mayhem, murder and numerous other atrocities committed by the Muslim community on a worldwide basis. And his portrayal of the pleasant experiences at the local Islamic Center with his questions being friendly and willingly answered, I can't help but wonder why he didn't ask them about their Koran teaching that all infidels (non-Muslims) convert or be ushered into eternity forthwith.

For Mr. Sullivan's information, all terrorist and people of like mind put on a beautiful front until power is theirs. At that point Mr. Sullivan may have questions, but the only answer his friendly Muslim will have is either convert or his head will roll along with all the other infidels.

I have no problem with people of any nationality or skin color. But the Muslim community is not "hemmed in" by any such distinctions. They are a worldwide religion dedicated to world dominion with Sharia law supreme.

Also, all Germans weren't Nazis nor all Italians Fascists but that made no difference in what their nations did.

Neither did all Japanese participate or agree with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but it was bombed anyhow.
