Peace Is Wisdom, Tolerance Is Strength

Various news sources have indicated that a surprising amount of anti-Semitic violence has happened recently. Please comment if any of the following conclusions or premises are incorrect.

1. Since many of the perpetrators are mentally ill, racial hatred could be called insane, perhaps Munchhausen by proxy.

2. Since the phrase 'threat to our way of life' is frequently present in anti-Semitic, as well as, anti-Muslim propaganda and used to incite violence, the perpetrators should be publicly reminded that their hate crimes have  just made people more likely to follow those religions. This is because the perpetrators have proven to any thoughtful or religious persons that some NON-believers are a.) hateful b.) subnormal or mentally ill c.) undeserving of salvation d.) not smart enough to realize that lovable, warm, and friendly people of the perpetrator's beliefs could win them away from those beliefs considered to be threatening.

3. Hatred in any form when it reaches violence is merely a powerful self-denial of cowardice.

4. Violence toward others besides self-defense or defense of others' physical safety or rescue of casualties of their situation (such as minors in abusive household) is a sign of ultimate weakness.
