Wherein Lies the Truth and How Do We Know?

Hatred is a disease that empties you of your humanity. This video offers a claim that I frankly think is only partly true on both side of the argument. Most people only want to be left alone to live their lives as they see fit. Insofar as religion practices hatred it is part of the problem and not part of the solution. But make no mistake because there are extremists in every religion. I have a lot of difficulty trusting that Islam, a religion that counsels violence and lying to deceive their enemies, all that are not of Islam, can be trusted. But I am no less willing to accept counsels of hatred. We are taught to love our enemies and to do good to those that hate us. "Trust, but verify!"
