There is danger in generalizations...

I met three Moslem guys from Kuwait, today, and I liked them. They are polite, friendly, well spoken, and clean cut young men. These young men are members of the Kuwaiti military stationed in Florida. They came up from FL to purchase a car that I had listed on eBay. As far as I could tell these young men are a lot like me when I was in my twenties. They love cars and girls in that order. The little Datsun 280zx that I had for sale was just what they were looking for. It is sporty and the young ladies seem to like it. The guys seemed happy with their purchase and thanked me over and over. They didn't even quibble over the price. Now, I feel a little bad about the negative things I have said about Moslems. I guess I need to be more specific and talk ugly only about Radical Moslems.

This proves something I have known for a long time, but I have not practiced as much as I should. That is one cannot hold any group of people to a generalization. Generalizations are dangerous. For instance, all lawyers are not low lives and all Democrats are not America hating Liberals. Well maybe that's a bad analogy, but you get the idea.

I guess the bottom line here is, maybe just maybe, all persons of the Islamic faith aren't out to convert us, enslave us or kill us. I suppose, like any other religion or any large organization for that matter, there are good members and bad members. I think I met some of the good ones. God/Allah bless them. I hope they enjoy the little car.
