I've been trying to say the same thing over the last few days, but anyone I say it to doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying.

A friend told a story about a friend of his who made the Muslim call to prayer, followed by automatic weapon fire his ringtone, and some people in the room applauded and laughed. Some looked confused and I said, so shooting people for praying is funny? I just don't get it. So much hate in the world, it just can't go on forever.
