...unless I see Muslims marching in the streets to denounce this horror, I'm giving up on the lot of them. No Jew, no Christian would ever tolerate or excuse this atrocity. Where are the Muslims? Not just leaders, but ordinary men and women? Why aren't they protesting all over the Islamic world? Why not in America?
I'm sick of pretending to myself that most Muslims are good people, while seeing so little evidence of it. If they really are, they'll step up. Right now.
Here's the rub as I see it:
Arab countires do not permit their people to speak out
against fellow Muslims...
BUT, here in the US they're silent too.
THAT tells me all I need to know about Muslims.
As a whole, they're bloodthirsty.
I want to believe I can eat chocolate 24/7 without looking like Michael Moore-on, but...
Every now and then, reality rises up and bites another idealist in the backside.
Good post; welcome to the Loose Confederation of the Grimly Determined.
