lorne,
What I am having the most problem with, is that most Americans assume the best out of the Muslims. Is it because of our judicial system saying "innocent until proven guilty?"
I can not tell you how many conversations I have been in with non-Muslims that know relatively nothing about the Muslim writings, and they come to the defense of the Muslims. I mean I show them Islamic verses in context, and with no reason they always say the clearly negative content and tone of them must be able to be explained away.
And I'll take it one step further, the same people are not even willing to explore the possibility of them being negative at all! You get the excuses, "well there is violent teachings in other religions scriptures also", "the Muslim religion is a peaceful religion", etc, etc ... And I can assure you, the people reciting these mantras don't even know if what they are saying is true or false.
It's scary how many people have become blind followers, and are being deceived. They might be surprised of things to come being so naive and not willing to study.
Its up to them....
God Bless,
IGIT
PS - One more thing, how does anyone suppose to fix this Islamic problem without ever fully understanding it? Can anyone you know fix problems without fully knowing what they are before fixing them? You can help the symptoms without full understanding. But you'll never fix the problems..... |
