About greeting

I felt neagtive about Islam, but this time I changed my opinion about Islam. Bad news about Islam are always told us, but the news is just a part of Islam. I hardly knew about Islam. I want to learn about Ialam, and I'd like to understand Islam.

About greeting
1. I greet people like these "Ohayou", and "Ohayougozaimasu". It is different for different people, because it is important to pay one's respects to elders. When I greet people who are my friends and familiar people, I say "Ohayou". On the other hand, when I greet people who are elders, I say "Ohayougazaimasu". I think that the way to greet are different by relationship between the other and I.
2.I sometime touch people, and sometime don't touch when I talk to. When I talk to friendly people, I touch them, because I think that to touch people is sign of friends. I can't touch people who don't know or aren't friendly.

About Islam

I read Yomiuri newspapare on April 30th, and there was article about Islam on page 4. The article told us that there was a terrorism of bomb of car in Iraq. That naight, one group of Islam planted a bomb on a car, and the bomb exploded. Because of the explosion, at least sixty persons were killed. And then, about 170 persons were injured. The explosion happened at 7 p.m near checkpoint. It was thought that the other group aimed one group which went to worship at sunset. Moreover there had been a terrorism of bomb on the same month, and about 40 persons had killed.
I felt negative about Islam because there are a lot of terrorism, and lots of people who are unrelated to terrorisms are killed.

Effect of Buddhism

I think that I am affected by Buddhism to a lot of things. For example, I say "Itadakimasu", "Arigato", and "Gochisousama" These words come from Buddhism. "Itadakimasu" and " Gochisousama" are difficult to translate into English, but we can translate "Arigato" into English, "Thank you". However It seems that "Arigato" is not equal to "Thank you" truly. "Arigato" means that I could experience things that hardly happened, so too good, and appreciating to that. In fact, both "Itadakimasu" and "Gochisousama" also mean to appreciate. Threfore I say "Itadakimasu", "Arigato", and " Gochisousama" to appreciate people and foods.
