9. Guilt by association is undemocratic.

I judge others by how I see them treat other people. On DU, what they write.

From personal experience, I know many Muslim individuals and families as friends. Some I too am proud to call brothers and sisters, and their parents as parents. One is a physician who helped restore my sister's health when she was very ill.

I also know Dr. David, personally, a Christian friend. She is a kind person in real life to all. She once served in the Detroit Public Schools. We met as a result of our work, I was reporter. She treated me like family.
