Is it Islam or is it in the Arabian people?
Question by : Is it Islam or is it in the Arabian people?
There seems to be a stereotype of intolerance among the Muslim faith and/or Arabs. This has to do with riotings and killings that happen whenever someone seems to do something that offends their faith.
1) Danish Cartoons making fun of the Muslim prophet – Riots and burning of UN buildings
2) Van Gogh movie on suffering Islamic women – Van Gogh is killed in the streets, and riots happened in Afghanistan
3) Terry Jones burns the Koran – Muslims kill UN staff, burn down all-GIRL’S schools and kill people in riots.
4) Personal experiences by me – all islamic forums I have joined are heavily regulated (not in fear of terrorist recruitment, but in fear of people bad mouthing Islam). People I have met all seems to support terrorism on some level and would never condemn a fellow Muslim. Granted a internet forum hardly seems to be representative of the general Muslim population, but I figured the one’s who know how to use the internet are at least more open minded.
This is the biggest Islamic discussion forum that I know about
www.islamicboard.com – be warned the people on that site are crazy Muslims who want to destroy the western world. Don’t believe? look at some of the topics and posts.
4) I brought all of this up because yesterday I got into a argument with a Muslim on the bus ride home over the Koran burning incident (don’t ask how we arrived at that conversation, it’s complicated) I said Terry Jones was a douche and shouldn’t have burned the Koran but he did nothing that should result in any punishment on him. Freedom of speech protects this. He gets outraged that I thought that. He believed Terry Jones should be imprisoned or killed, but he didn’t seem to think the Muslims that killed and rioted over the Koran burning acted out of control.

Answer by She said
Not all Arabs are Muslim and not all Muslims are Arabs. In fact only 20% of the worlds 1.6 Billion population of Muslims are made up by Arabs so, from the get go its stereotype city…
Scottish, White Muslim woman!
1) How many Muslims rioted?
2) How many Muslims killed him?
3) How many Christians are to blame for his actions? None I hear you say? Only Terry Jones? Well I agree with that. I do not hold a single other Christian responsible for his actions, but you want to blame all Muslims for the actions of a few? Is that right?
4) Nonsense absolute nonsense. I have never met a single Muslim who supports terrorism and my faith certainly does not support it and I follow my faith not the agenda of a minority of people who want to manipulate and twist Islam to suit their own personal agenda.
Muslims do NOT want to destroy the western world and you are aware websites are made by people who hate Islam and pose as Muslims to give validity to their bigotry right? I mean did you meet every person on that forum and confirm them as Muslims? I don’t think you did.
5) So the opinion of one Muslim on a bus (if indeed it happened) does not = every Muslims opinion. Any Muslim who kills an innocent person has committed a crime.
Because Muslims are never victims in your eyes right? Muslims do not suffer at the hands of organisations like the Taliban right? Muslims do not suffer discrimination on a daily basis right? Muslims are never the victims of hate crimes right? Muslims are never murdered right? Well sorry to break it to you but we are no susceptible to ignorance and bigotry, hatred and intolerance. We are human being too, we bleed, we have children we want to live in a peaceful world, we work, we pay tax’s, we go to school, we have careers, we laugh, we cry, we feel also, we are not a collective mass of heaving extremism, we are a peaceful faith with peaceful people, with we recognise a minority who do not live peacefully, who commit crimes, who murder innocent people.
Now tell me is America void of crime? Of innocent people dying at that hands of other AMERICAN citizens? Because your bursting at the seams prison system says otherwise, the blood on the hands of your government says otherwise….
Is it Christianity or it is the American people? Its neither its individuals and by any chance will you ever see that is not Islam and its not Arab people its individuals also, because if 1.6 Billion people wanted or were instructed to take over the western world, kill all non Muslims etc etc blah blah blah then all every Muslim has to do is take out 3 people and job done! But just for a moment consider its not our goal, its not our instruction, its not our aim and get over your paranoid self already!
