Proud to be an American?

Were the students who lashed out at the young man, Foreign Americans? That is irrelevant, but I want to know. I think there is a time and place to express your emotions, but there is also a certain way you should express them. It was not necessary for those guys to ridicule that young man. I think it is sad, that America is now coming together in such a tragic manner, we should have been together long before this took place. We are know that this sort of thing would happen, but we just didn't know when. Our Bible tells us that wars will occur. This is not the end, God said it is only the beginning of what is yet to come.
Everyone is going on around stating they are proud to be American, but right now, I have mixed emotions about that. 1) Why are we lashing out at Muslims for this tragedy? There was a killiing of a Muslim man, by an American because of ethnic/racial background!! What is the point of this? Everyone states we shall not be defeated, but we are killing innocent people here. True enough, they killed innocent people as well, but does that make it right for us to follow in their tragic footsteps? I have so many emotions about this right now, but I don't let it get to me, because I have taken them to the Lord and gave him my burdens and he has eased my heart. Everyone should do this, take it to God, Allah, etc. whomever your supreme being is! Sorry, this is such a long post, but I had to get this out of my system.

SF Love
