Silencing von Brunn
Instead of focusing on the killer, let us rather pour our energy into how we can honor the victim's life.

When Hatred Moves from Thought to Act
What happened at the U.S. Holocaust Museum is an extreme sign of something happening in different parts of American society, albeit in less violent manifestations.

Religion-Based Terror in Wichita, Washington

The Open Door at Dachau
Every time I see or read of an attack on a Jew because of his or her Jewishness, or when the sacred space of a synagogue or a memorial, a church or mosque is violated, I see in my mind's eye an open oven door at Dachau.

Bigotry and Hatred are Spiritual Diseases
When the disease erupts in a visible act of violence, our attention is drawn to the deadly effects of hateful words and thoughts. But what about the roots of such hatred?

Time to Stay Focused on Dreams, not Fears
I found it deeply heartening that within a couple of hours of the Holocaust Museum shooting I received several press-releases from local and national Muslim organizations condemning the attack.

Shooting Should Make us Angry and Ashamed
The shootings echo both the attempted bombing of two New York synagogues by Muslim extremists a few weeks ago and the recent murder of Dr. Tiller.

Right-Wing Extremism on the Rise

Just Another Hater With A Gun
We live in a nation in which any lunatic motivated by racial, religions, political, or just plain personal hatred can buy a gun and use it.

The Stupidity of Hatred
This shooting seems to have been done by an OLD man filled with hatred. I would imagine he felt like he had nothing to lose.
