When they @tt@ck the U.$. again, I expect all of them to b3rn to the ground.
Friends,
Sorry for the cross posting...
I am an American who also happens to also be Muslim in my believes.
You can imagine how painful it is for me to read your comments. I know you are all good people. However the fact is that you have made these remarks show that there is a pervasive misunderstanding about Islam and about what Muslim’s believe in and stand for.
The world has roughly 1.6 billion Muslims spread across all continents and about 50 nations where they are the majority. World domination is far from their minds. These are folks like you, good, decent people, trying to take care of their families and improve their communities. Go visit Jordan or Bangladesh. Seek out a Muslim in your community and spend some time. Muslims are strongly committed to liberty and freedom.
When crazy folks like ISIS - a cultist organization by any standards - do awful things and the claim that they too are good Muslim, my family and I are greatly anguished and deeply saddened. Each time they commit an atrocity, especially against a Christian or people of another faith – it diminishes all of us. The religious minorities, especially Christians and Jewish people, are considered “protected” people to be taken care among Muslims. How can these extremists pervert and distort these teachings to such a degree? The whole situation of this cultist group (and that of Al Qaeda or Boko Haram) feels like a scene out of “believe it or not” movie, very surreal.
I believe there are both good and evil people in the world – no religion has a monopoly over either. Just as we cannot hold the teachings of Christ responsible for actions of the pedophile Catholic priests, or the Lord’s army in Africa, or the killings of nearly 8,000 Muslims by the Serbians during the Balkan wars, please do not hold “Islam” and “Muslims” responsible for the atrocities of these groups.
