``That America (or for that matter the world) has changed after 9/11/2001 cannot be doubted. But where do we go from here?``

Excellent question. Its more and more imperative now that we acknowledge our similarities and practice religious tolerance.

My former boss (who is jewish) once told me that he knows not, any two religions that are so similar in religious practices than islam and judaism. But the conflict between two nations has become a conflict of two religions, and very unjustly so.

There will always be groups of people who will try to incite and ignite fire, and thats why it has become important for us to mingle and dispel fears that come from ignorance.

Forgive and forget, and live and let live is what we all need.
