Discouraging Words

Chatted with Sanad tonight. I told him about the attack on me and he indicated that it has happened to him as well. At IslamOnline in SL. Three guys threatened him, so he went to another island. Another friend of mine told me about a guy she knows who also had three men try to shoot him when he was at IslamOnline.

Sanad's theory is, "they want to show muslim people that they hate them ... my thinking". He said," I think it is a big problem... in SL and RL, because it is a wrong idea."

So for all of the promise of this new medium, whether in education or business or just plain social networking, we're still faced with the global problems of xenophobia and discrimination.
