http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/19/world/muslim-man-hugs-paris-feat/index.html

(CNN)It's one of many videos to go viral since the deadly terrorist attacks that shocked the world last Friday.

An unidentified man in Paris -- site of the attacks -- wore a blindfold and held a sign saying, "Do you trust me?" inviting those at Place de la Republique to hug him.

He said he was a Muslim and stood at the site where many Parisians went to pay their respects to the 129 people lost in the attacks.

According to reports, hundreds came up to hug him.

Later he took off his blindfold to reveal his face, thanking the people for hugging him, saying "I am a Muslim, but that doesn't make me a terrorist."

The video, posted by "In the Now," had nearly 1 million views as of this writing.

He was casing the joint for a future attack! I can't believe that the French fools hugged him.

Seriously though I have grave concerns about the 'Muslims are all terrorists' crowd.

I do too, if this doesn't stop people are going to start attacking innocent Muslims, which what ISIS wants.

The 'Muslims are all terrorists' crowd is just a minority, who like ISIS, claim to speak for a group they do not represent.

It won't stop them. Not unlike the terrorists, those who thrive in their own ignorance will continue with their inflammatory rhetoric. Fortunately for the rest of us, all they manage to expose is their own ignorance.

I do too, if this doesn't stop people are going to start attacking innocent Muslims, which what ISIS wants.

Vandals have defaced a mosque to the north of Austin, Texas, at the Islamic Center of Pflugerville. Worshippers arriving to pray on Monday morning discovered pages torn from the Muslim holy text, the Quran, and feces littered in front of the building, NBC affiliate stationKXAN reported.

"It's disgusting; it's gross. It doesn't matter what you believe, what I believe, what he believes or anybody believes, all faith is important," Pflugerville resident Laura Swanson told KXAN.

Keep rolling your eyes, you might find your brain tucked away up in there, somewhere...

Omg a mosque defaced. Where is the outrage. Funny you have had probably 100 posts of outrage about people judging muslims . Not so much outrage about the recent terrorist attacks

Many posts removed for violating the following stipulation of VJ's TOS

last_post.png Make comments in a Post either direct or implied toward another member that are purposely designed to upset, antagonize, make fun of, belittle, harass, insult, or otherwise instigate an argument that takes away from the personal enjoyment of the Service by other users.

Some small admin action taken against the two offending parties. Thread is now unlocked for further posting. But, let us be clear, the conversation at this point can not be about the TOS violation in question or the posters involved.

Sorry for the delay in reopening......
