Personal Party

I had a personal party last night... just me :-). Every once and awhile I have one just to be alone. So after Hannah and Riley went to bed I ran to the store and got what I needed. Then I came home and munched on (extra buttery) Popcorn and M&Ms while drinking a bottle of Coke and watching a movie... it was wonderful :-). I watched "Traitor" and was quite impressed. It was a perfectly politically correct movie (which was annoying at times) but when I started I almost turned it off because the first half seemed to be preaching about how terrorists are actually just oppressed revolutionaries trying to serve God and besides Christians in the KKK did some of the same things anyway! You see why I about turned it off? Then about half way through you realize that the main character now involved in the terrorist group is actually working on our country to bring the organization down! It then turns into a sort of conversation dealing with the two contradictory sides of Islam-- the violent and the peaceful. The main character is just a refreshingly good character. He is just a good person, and a Muslim. But to him Jihad is not violent war against the infidel, instead it is war against temptation and lust. We know the Koran and other Islamic writing are contradictory on this, but this movie mainly just presents the two sides with the peaceful Muslim being presented as the true follower of Allah. Regardless of how I personally feel on the topics, it was a very well-written movie.
