@Robusto: And I apologize for the manner in which I had responded. I had assumed, from the way that you had worded your statement, that you had attacked the religion in general, rather than just the extremists. And this week, and today, have just been roller coasters of emotions for me. I've had to go through all kinds of spells of anger, sadness, joy, and, when I saw that, it kind of invoked all of those feelings. Thus, given my rage and my rant and my regret, I'm very sorry for what I said in that respect, and I feel absolutely horrible about it.
I agree with you. I don't like to hear those horrible stories. It makes me sad, it breaks my heart, and yeah, I did cry repeatedly last night when I heard about the details of the Paris shootings/bombings (I have a weak heart; so what?) Extremists are wrong, despicable, and horrible people, no matter the religion. Therefore, yes, I understand why you said what you did. I apologize for having upset you in any way, and I apologize for having criticized you in such an unfair manner because of my mistake interpretation of what you said.
