One (anyone, especially religious folk) cannot ignore the stark symbolism
surrounding the whole event.
Let's wait and see, but I'm sure many in that
crowd were jumping with
glee over this, and taking this as a sign that "Allah" was on their
side.
It is what it is. I didn't hear any news of anyone "jumping with glee"
over it. I'm certainly not jumping with glee over it, but then, I'm not
an extremist either.
A sad interpretation of a Sadder event.
You brought it up :\
