'It's grotesque to lump all Muslims together and conclude that all Muslims are either terrorists or sympathise with them,'
Pretty much sounds like the Danes of the 1930s.
'It's grotesque to lump all GERMANS together and conclude that all GERMANS are either NAZIS or sympathise with them,'
THANK YOU!
What too many refuse to face is the fact that Islam and Nazism ARE alike in that they are both ideologies that espouse violence and destruction of all who oppose them. We CAN lump together all who self-identify as Muslims, just as we could( and did) all those who self-identified as Nazis. They are judged by the IDEAOLOGY and its tenets.
How could one NOT expect to be judged by the belief system they call their own? Documentation for what Nazi's believed was clear, and the Koran makes it VERY clear what Muslims believe.
Hitler founded the Nazi party-and was very plain about what it stood for. ANYONE who called themselves a Nazi, or a Nazi supporter, knew they were saying they believed that too.
Islam/the Koran is VERY plain about what it believes. ANYONE who calls themselves a Muslim is telling the world they believe that too. They have no right to expect others to assume anything else!
We assume all Boy Scouts hold to, and believe in, the philosophy of that organization. The same with Masons, the NRA, political parties etc. Why is Islam exempt from such an assumption- especially when the so-called 'good' ones REFUSE to reject and fight against the aspects of their cult that has the WORLD rising up against them?
