Muslim: We are not evil

You dont like the way you are treated, Elmasry? Quit being a muslim.

[hellinahandcart]

What's with the avalanche of "Pity the poor Muslims!!" articles this week? This is the third one I've read *today*.

Oh right. I forgot. 9/11 is on Wednesday and the commie media wants to be sure we all go into that day feeling guilty and with our "priorities straight".

I wouldn't use any of these papers to catch poop falling from a dog's butt, let alone read them (anywhere except here).

Muslim: We are not evil

Yes you are

[pgobrien]

Screw you! Abdul! When I hear Islam condem the terrorists, I'll change my attitude toward you.

[poet]

Ditto that!!

[SpinyNorman]

The head of the Canadian Islamic Congress is tired of Islam being blamed as the cause of terrorism in the Middle East.

Uhhhh, maybe it is because it is true? The wide failure of the Islamic world to condemn this terrorism is approval of it, tacit or direct. I don't see the good professor condemning bin Laden here or anything like it.

[galt-jw]

since WHEN do the evil know their identity? if you want to give your personal power and freedom away to some made up spook, be ready to bear the consequence for your hate.

ps: get off my planet, animals.

[Gorzaloon]

But Elmasry said even police statistics show there were about 100 recorded hate crimes against Muslims in the nine months after Sept. 11, 2001, an increase of about 66%.

It's a start anyway.

So, feeling concerned, just what are the apologists going to do to help restrain the extremists? I have not SEEN anything yet.

One more September 11, and I suspect this fellow will have a LOT to complain about.

And nobody will care.

Re: Muslim: We are not evil

History renders this statement false.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Compares to

X42: "I did not have sex with that woman"

[hosepipe]

Mohammad himself was a terrorist, and murderer...
His real followers are just following in his footsteps.
The Muslim peaceniks are just liberals....

[gaspar]

Mohamed: Now you know what a Maronite goes through in Lebanon and Syria, a Copt in Egypt, a Christian in Pakistan, a Kurd in Iraq, the mountain people in Algeria, the Toubou in Libya, the Moor in Morocco. Just keep reminding yourself that Islam is a religion of peace.

Well...

Had a Christians perpetrated such an attack on an Islamic country what would have happened to Christians living in that country???

Oh ya, the Christians would already be dead or imprisoned... Anything not Muslim is forbidden in an Islamic country.

So count your blessings that you live where you do live.

And last, had Muslims quickly and loudly denounced those who did what they did on 9-11 in the name of Islam, perhaps this would be a non-issue now. That fact is you didn't. Your silence was heard loud and clear. The few who did speak basically said "it was terrible BUT...". The classic "I'm sorry BUT"... The time has past.

"They say, basically, 'we are going to come and kill you bastards. Why don't you go home?' Every other word is an F-word," he said. His 23-year-old son was also harassed at work.

It wasn't a bunch of Baptists that highjacked those planes, killed those sailors on the Cole, blew up the US embassies in Africa, truck bombed the Kobar tower, etc.

It wasn't a group of Catholics dancing in the streets upon hearing of the Towers' collapse. I did have a modicum of pity for the Palestinians. No more.

I wasn't islam's enemy, but through their deeds and words thay have made me so.

[redheadtoo]

The Bible tells us that we are to judge the quality of faith by the works it produces. When Christians gets serious about their faith they build schools, hospitals, orphanges, etc. In other words they go out and do good deeds. When a Muslum gets serious about his faith he joins a terrorist cell and sends teenagers out with suicide bombs strapped to their bodies.

So now, after looking at the difference in Christian and Muslum act of faith, are we now not to judge?

[isthisnickcool]

Islam teaches all should be Islam. If it's not then it must be forced to. Once forced to those that do not convert can be killed or taxed. But the goal is one world and it's all Islam.

Nah! Nothing evil about that. Or running planes with women children and infants into buildings full of innocent people. Some folks forget that their goal was to kill 10's of 1,000's of people.

Nothing evil about strapping bombs to themselves and killing innocent men, women and children. Nope! In the name of Islamic martyrdom.

Hey Mohamed Elmasry! I've got your number. I've read about your "religion" and I've seen what it does to innocents. Go to hell!

"he wished the media would describe the actions of such terrorists as crimes committed by people who use Islam to justify their actions."

Elmasry's point is understandable, but when the world asked, "Would the real Muslims please stand up!" a mixture of terrorists and people who were luke warm, at best, in their denunciation of terrorists and terrorism rose to their feet.

Furthermore, it's hard to believe that the terrorists are not real Muslims when the overt goal of Islam is the establishment, by violent means as necessary, of a world-wide Islamic theocracy with the Koran as the only constitution and the shariah as international law, and anyone who doesn't know what dark-age, barbaric practices these prescribe is an imbecile.

I'm afraid it's Elmasry, and not the media, that is mistaken about Islam, what it means, and just what "god" it serves. He would be wise to convert to a different religion, and if he searches sincerely for the truth, he will.

It sounds as though Elmasry has heard the voice of God and hungers for Him and that he cannot bring himself to face the truth that the "god" of Islam is not God.

And then, of course, if he did face this truth, he would become an apostate and his fellow Muslims would murder him--a further indication of just what the "god" of Islam really is.

Anybody heard of any fatwas issued against bin Laden? Zawahiri? Mullah Omar? The September 11 murderers? Al Qaida? Any terrorists or murderers?
