What saddens me about this whole ordeal has been watching a few friends and family coupling their woes about the decline of mainstream Christiandom to their fears about "Islamic terrorism" and all the social and political trappings that accompany it. It might just be me getting older and seeing how "real people" function, but it makes me sad to watch such kind and cheerful people slowly wallow in a self-imposed stupor of fear, skepticism and resentment of "the other" in all its nebulous forms.
