I invite you to do a search, and find a single example of my being in favor of corpse desecration.
You know, most people--and I am one of them--can walk and chew gum at the same time. Consider these two separate factual circumstances:
***I have seen people in my HOME state of MA acting like boors about this issue. I have seen people across this nation being shitty to Muslims just because they are Muslim. This is why I express concern.
***I have seen this woman's face in the newspaper and on TV, and her voice on radio, giving interviews that feature the words "I" and "Me." She's EVERYWHERE, telling everyone how shitty they are and how she's like Jesus. Now, I am no expert on Jesus, but I think there was something in that book that said something about people without sin casting the first stone..? Maybe she should spend a little less time telling people how shitty they are, and certainly less time telling everyone how much like Jesus she thinks she is.
Because of this, I can be both CONCERNED about the safety of the families with loved ones in that cemetery, the cemetery owners, the people in the town who may have to pay for additional security, and pushback against the Muslim community in that area.
I can also ask myself why this woman had to put herself forward, with her I-I-I/me-me-me interviews. Why did she have to open her mouth at all? And if she did feel a need to open her mouth, what was wrong with the two magic words "NO COMMENT?"
I'm sorry that you seem unable to be concerned about only one thing. I can express concern about many things, as I have done in this post.
Hope I cleared up any confusion or "concern" you may have had about how I see this matter.
