My heart cries for those affected by the senseless shooting in Orlando but I refuse to jump on the anti-Islam bandwagon. I am more inclined to get behind the stronger gun laws and anti-discrimination movements. Learning about and learning to accept other cultures would seem the better option. Getting help for those with mental illness rather than stigmatizing the mentally ill as somehow not worthy to be part of the community. Be it Christian, Muslim, Jew or any other religion, if someone professes believe in that religion and then uses it as a justification for violence, it is that person who is sick and not the religion.I look at the group known as ISIS or ISIL. as a cult. A cult that draws in the weak minded and in no way is a true representation of the Muslim religion.
