Many examples can be given. Life is not a statistic. And the crazies can be influential too to a degree, as they have influenced the followers of Trump, and all those demonstrators at Charlottesville and elsewhere.
Forgiveness is a release of emotional attachment to what we experience as hurt. Forgiveness is beneficial primarily for the forgiver. The understanding should be remembered; emotional clinging to the past is not needed, although we often do it. Understanding that, as Jesus said about those who crucified him, "they know not what they do", or like the African-American Christian victims of Dylann Roof who forgave him, forgiveness and transcending hate is possible.
If that's what you believe and how you view things, why do you support the idea of giving more Islamic's the right to immigrate to this country and support the right of Islamic immigrants to remain living in this country after seeing/experiencing what a few Islamic crazies have already done? Gee, I've never suggested we that we ban all Islamic's or round them all up and ship them back to where they came from.
We had a restrictive but generally fair immigration policy under Obama. Nothing that the current interloper does is in any way reasonable. Arbitrary discrimination against travelers and immigrants from a few Muslim countries that the Orange Menace doesn't do business with has nothing to do with a good policy to deal with crazies.
