Although most Muslims I've met, outwardly, are a decent lot and I have no arguement with them, if the behaviour of the Islamists really bothered them and did not represent their real feelings, you'd think that the so-called peaceful Muslims would organize and protest on the other side. Unfortunantly, I have never heard of even one protest anywhere (ME, Europe, North America) from the so-called peaceful Muslims denouncing their brethren and doing everything they can to set the record straight.
I don't judge Islam just by the violent acts that are done in its name. I also judge it by the lack of action by Muslims who keep claiming that the violence done in its name is not done by real Muslims, but they repeatedly never do anything to stop the violence.
Good job proving you're one of those unabashedly ignorant Westerners who live in their own, confined little shell thinking the world revolves around them and don't have a freakin' clue of what actually goes on in this world.
Let's start off with your position where you seem to completely ignore the very simple, yet undeniable fact that Muslims themselves have been victims to terrorist attacks. Your impenetrably asinine logic of concluding that Muslims condone the killing of their own just because
you haven't seen any dissenting voices coming from the Muslims themselves goes way beyond even the farthest reaches of ridiculous thought.
First, a simple verse from the Qur'an to outline my point:
"The believers are but brethren, therefore make peace between your brethren and be careful of (your duty to) Allah that mercy may be had on you." - 49:10
I believe the majority of the ones who were killed in the residential apartment bombings of Riyadh and Al-Khobar in Saudi Arabia were, in fact,
Muslims.
No biggie though, at least they caught some infidels in the blasts in Pakistan a couple of months ago. Argh, missed the mark.
Muslims killed instead.
Or those car bombs in busy marketplaces in Iraq where nary an infidel is to be found. Damn, more
Muslims killed again.
Oh well, mistakes do happen. Those unbelievers finally met their maker after the hotel blasts in Egypt.
Muslim casualties? Poor terrorists just don't seem to have any luck.
But can someone please explain to me the logic of setting off explosives at a Jordanian
Muslim wedding feast as being a surefire way of killing infidels, especially in light of the above verse I mentioned?
In Islam, a mosque is called a House Of God, yet I seem to recall the bombings of the Golden Mosque, also known as the Buratha Mosque in Baghdad (one of the most revered shrines of Shiite Muslims) and most recently - the attack on the Jama Masjid in Delhi, which if I might add, is one of the most culturally and historically significant monuments of Islam present in the world today, being amongst the few landmarks of Mughal architecture. I mean, what better way to appease The Almighty by blowing up the very places where large numbers of fellow believers in faith congregate to engage in His worship?
It's hard to imagine the level of stupidity one would require to harbor notions of Muslims condoning attacks not only on their own people, but their holy sites as well. What's even more shocking, is that even after witnessing such atrocities, the very idea that there are people so painfully deprived of common sense who actually think that the pepetrators of such hateful crimes would have anything to do at all with the rightful teachings of Islam or can in any way whatsoever, be called as Muslims. Yet unfortunately those who maintain that the actions of these radicals are in "service" to Islam
do exist. Guess who am I pointing fingers at, "Jonty"?
"But Muslims
never do anything to denounce such violence" you say?
Funny, I remember at least
three different mass protests against terrorism in the Middle East in the past couple of months alone:
More than 10,000 Moroccons slam Al Qaida
Massive Muslim protest in Bahrain against Terrorism
More than 200,000 Jordanians out on the streets in protest against terrorist attacks
Having trouble keeping up with the news, skippy?
Let's not forget the repeated condemnation of the actions of such extremists by many Muslim country leaders, clerics, political groups and even individual Muslims across the globe. Heck, the very same topic has been discussed at great lengths and in considerable detail here on the Hype itself. As if the same oft-repeated message that's been propagated by so many moderate Muslim voices in defense of their faith is not enough for you to just get an
idea of the popular Muslim opinion in these matters, you ignorantly accuse us of doing
nothing in response and label us as actually condoning such heinous acts? Wow.
Have fun plowing your way through even farther into the depths of ignorance. Won't be long before you finally hit rock bottom.
