On Fanaticism: On interfaith matters, I am walking on sacred ground

 
I have noticed that those people who judge the followers of any one faith by a few fanatics or terrorists, also tend to be the very ones who are fanatical about their own path whether they are Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Baha'i, or any other path you care to name.

For myself, I tend to hold as sacred what you do for the mere fact that you hold it as sacred. In fact, when discussing interfaith matters, I try to make sure my shoes are off, for I am walking on sacred ground.
