I'd like to appoligize for a post I made today which completely gave the wrong impression of what

[demosincebirth]

I was trying to say. I was in a hurry and I left before all the hullabaloo started and didn't get back until four hours later after my post was hidden and I did not have a chance to clarify my inconsiderate post. What I really meant was that in my town there are many Muslims , and the ones that live here are usually dressed in western garb. So it was different to see a Muslim woman (in Muslim garb) and her child pan handling. Middle eastern, Afghan, Pakistani, in our town are a very close knit community. Believe me, I do have acquaintances that, I think are Muslim, or they could be Hindi. Never discussed it and I never ask. But I did do my little act of charity.

So, I apologize again.

1. Don't beat yourself up, we have all posted in

haste and been misunderstood because of it. How sad that a mum and her child have to beg but good on you that you help them.
Take care

2. I was on your jury.

One of the two people who voted to let your post stand. I for one think you got a raw deal, whomever alerted on your post acted hastily and without cause.

5. Thanks, but in hindsight, it did not give the right impression.

Clarification and courtesy always welcome here at DU.

I would have contacted the police.
