I don't defend the people committing the atrocities, but when people insinuate that Muslims are somehow evil and that Islam teaches them to commit these atrocities, promoting foolish racism, while ignoring the fact that Christianity and other religions are the cause of just as many problems and deaths, it kinda bothers me. The with burnings alone resulted in anywhere between 700,000 to 9 million deaths - probably somewhere in the middle of those two figures. Even the lower extreme is frightening.
So I'm not defending what they do, but attacking the xenophobia, racism, and hypocrisy that this post was teeming with. |
Let's get our facts straight here. I completely agree with you that Christians have killed millions of people in the past. This is very clear, it's history, and it is very regretable. But let it be known that it did happen in the past, today we do not have the kind of atrocities being commited by Christians as they happened in the past. If we did, I would be completely against them.
But you still have not admitted that Muslims today are in fact committing HORRIBLE crimes against humanity. It is happening everyday. It happens in Israel, Sudan, Indonesia, Nigeria.... and countless other places. It should be condemned by Islam leaders, and in some cases it is, but it is not being denounced by enough people. If it were, it would stop. I don't understand why some liberals will not condemn such acts, instead they focus on how it is racist to say that all Muslims are like this. NO ONE IS MAKING THAT CLAIM. Just like in the middle ages not all Christians were killing Jews and other Christians, today not all Muslims are killing others. But there is an element inside Islam that is very violent, and they promote absolutely terrible things. Why not denounce such acts?
