ArchivesI know what you mean...
in reply to a message by Phyllis
It's nice to hear that you know other Satanists, Phyllis. :)
I know what you mean about how a lot of Muslims do NOT condone these crimes. I'm concerned for the people who own and operate my favorite Afghanistani restaurant on Long Island -- Kabul Restaurant in the town of Huntington. And then there's the Kabul Restaurant on West 54th St. in Manhattan. I've chatted with the young women employed there about the Taleban's religious fundamentalist control in Afghanistan, and they've told me how the Taleban is "crazy" over there in their treatment (enslavement, actually) of women.
I would no sooner confuse these good people with the cowardly scum who destroyed the WTC, than I would have others confuse philosophical Satanists with devil-worshippers.
Sorry if I'm dwelling too much on the whole thing. We're all still pretty numb here in New York, and talking helps I guess. Even though I'm on Long Island, we've been isolated because all the highways and bridges leading towards Manhattan (and off the island) were closed yesterday and early today. And the ferries were all booked up and on a strictly "first come, first served" basis. So Long Islanders have essentially been trapped on the island. It gives one a kind of claustrophobic feeling, knowing that there's no way off the island if there had been some kind of emergency. I wonder if the terrorists even realized how vulnerable the entire Long Island population has been these past couple of days?
