Duly noted, and I'll wager it's safe to claim that no one here lacks the requisite empathy for that. We GET that people you actually know are in pain, and that it's naturally affecting you. Point taken, although why it took so fricken' long to say so helped no one here, nor yourself.

The evidence points to "yes." swampy I wish you and your friends the best, I really do. But here's the deal. In my experience, internet forums are just about the least practical place to go looking for sympathy. Perhaps that's now registering with your experience as well. And the various side-excursions through Muslims-as-evil etc. are an unecessary red herring. You have your friends in FL who aren't similarly dangerous-and-yet-curiously-Muslim-or-Muslim-like as proof of that.
