The first step in understanding this is to know that Islam means “submission.” Muslims believe that everyone should think and worship the same god as they do. Muslims do not either support nor go against violence, but radical Muslims clearly believe they can harm anyone in anyway that do not believe in their god. Learning the difference between the two groups helps me better understand what is and might happen in the world.Lydia, Sixth GradeBishop Walsh School Fri, 16 May 2008 21:13:00 +0000 http://www.times-news.com/opinion/local_story_137211339.html http://www.times-news.com/opinion/local_story_137211339.html In response to “What part of can’t afford it don’t you understand?” is what happens when our government lets a non-believer talk them into taking prayer out of school and doing away with the Pledge to the American Flag and removing God’s words from buildings.

Even the middle school was opened for the people during these bad storms, remember?

I have flip-flopped so much these past several months I was beginning to think I was incapable of deciding which candidate to endorse.

Even though I am a registered Republican, I will be so happy to see George W. Bush leave the White House.
