Resolving to not be afraid

It is so easy in this world today to be fearful! I can get that way too easily! I worry most about the fact that radical Muslim terrorists will separate me from my family and loved ones. I know there is little I can do about it and so it is a bit of an irrational fear. But, isn't most fear irrational! I would love to be able to embrace Muslims as yet another rich religion contributing to the fabric of this nation and the world. But, where are the Muslim leaders who want to tone down the raidcal messages of hate that seem to be everywhere? I would like them to stand up and say something very directly about the 109 verses in the Koran that seem to want me and my family dead. Where are these good people who will take a stand for moderation and acceptance? Are they living in fear also?
