IMHO I think you know that that is a load of horse turds....I think ALL of Islam continually re-enforces the "Death To America/Isreal" mentality and I see it every day from every Muslim community in Every country that has them... |
No Iceman, my opinion is not a load of horse turds.
I'm the last to defend Muslim extremism, antisemitism or anti Americanism, but you are wrong if you say "ALL of Islam is ..." etc.
Of the more than 1 Billion Muslims there are certainly millions of fanatics. 10 Million (1%)? 100 Million (10%)? Too much for sure.
But there are also hundreds of millions of Muslims, especially outside the Middle East, in countries like Indonesia and India (the second largest - and integrated - Muslim community in the world!) who are less interested in international politics and just want to make a living. So is the majority of Muslims in my country. You don't seen them on the news, because they are acting normal. You see the extremists on the news, because they
are news.

Here's the link:
http://www.ifrc.org/ (the Red Cross and Red Crescent are an integrated organisation).
And if you say that the local Muslim organisations operate far from efficient and that Muslims amoungst themself often show too little compassion, I fully agree.
But you better re-think if it is fair to condem 80% or 90% of all Muslims and call them "
rabid wild animals..." - and advise to treat them as such(!) - because a minority of perhaps 20% or 10% are fanatical extremists.
It also doesn't fit with the Christian concept of compassion.
I am critical enough about Muslim extremism and certain aspects of the Islam that in my opinion don't fit into modern society, but arguments should be fair and opinions don't gain strenght when they are based on generalisations...
