Molly Norris is in hiding

[Sofaspud]

I'm not scared of 'the Muslims', as you put it.  I fear getting hit by lightning a whole lot more.  I fear the bank that holds my mortgage.  I fear the drivers on the road beside me.  I do not fear terrorism, at all.  I'm not apathetic to it, but I refuse to succumb to the F.U.D. infection that you have obviously been bitten by.

F.U.D.? That -can't- be what my initial thought on the initials came out as. (F--K You Dead? Can't be that.) Fear of something? Whatever it is, I've never seen it before, I don't think.

F.U.D. - Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.  It is what the media and the politicians bank on to whip the populace (of any country) into a frenzy.  Instead of appealing to rational thought, it appeals to the emotions.  It is a powerful tool and terrible weapon and I despise the fact that it's become the prime motivator in this "War on Terror" or whatever they want to call it this week.
As for peace... sure.    But I think we have some very disparate beliefs about this entire situation.
