and acceptable to hold accountable and responsible?
On April 16th, 2007, A young Korean American Student Seung Hui-Cho, A Virginia Tech Student shot to death 32 people and wounded 25 others. The Korean Community in Northern Virginia stepped forward and expressed their deep grief and sorrow over the actions that one of theirs had taken. They reached out in many ways, including monetarily to help the families of those killed and to ease the suffering of the wounded.
This impressed and touched many here in the common wealth and this response of The Korean Community is still lauded here in The Commonwealth of Virginia.
Contrast with the reaction that many people have harbored since 0 9/11/ 01. People are aggrieved because the Islamic Community here, EN MASSE, has not branded the 19 Hijackers as " Totally Reprehensible and Vile Monsters" You often here cries for MASS Rallies- Million Muslim Rallies- denouncing and demanding a halt to ALL anti-American terrorism activities on the part of their coreligionists and that any Government supporting the terrorists end their support of them NOW!
Is there an obligation for communities to say , " If one of our number does anything horrid, Please consider us aiders and abetters/ co-conspirators!" This seems, to me to be off-kilter, wrong, unreasonable and just " plain ol' wrong, unfair and unacceptable."
We do not hold people hostages for the actions of those that they have strong bonds to- unless we can show that they were co-plotters in bring about a criminal action! Yet, It seems since 9/11 that MANY of us, de-facto are!
