Amein,
You said, "go figure"
Oh you want figures...I am sorry I didn't include them in my first post!
Gallup conducted the interviews during December 2001 and January 2002.
It asked 9,924 Muslim residents in nine countries: Indonesia, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
1. Although most of those identified by the US authorities as having been involved in the 11 September attacks were of Arab extraction, 61% of the respondents said they did not believe Arab groups were behind the attacks.
2. A further 67% thought the US campaign in Afghanistan following the attacks was unjustified, with 9% thinking it was.
3. The poll confirms a widespread unfavourable opinion of the US in the Muslim world - 53% - with less than half of that - 22% - holding a positive opinion.
4. Only 11% expressed a favourable opinion of the President Bush, with 58% saying they dislike him.

These figures make it clear how Muslims feel about the US, and America as a whole. Right? So do most Muslims feel that violence is wrong against the US, and sympathetic towards us, promoting love and peace? Or are most Muslims burying their heads in the sand, denying that Arabs/Muslims even partook in the terrorist attacks? Where is the love and peace in this behavior?
And again, I will ask the same questions I had asked before, because you failed to answer them. You felt more comfortable slinging an insult instead...go figure!
"I would like to ask another question, if you don't mind. If this violence, horrendous behavior is not true Islam, what is true Islam doing to clean it up? Why aren't the "so called" true Muslims out there cleaning up this mess? If Islam is love and peace, and that is the majority of Islamic people, this should be happening, right?
I think you must properly observe what is currently going on Islam right now, as evidenced by the majority or the current Islamic people, and their behavior, to know what the message of Islam is. With that being said, where are they now, and how are they out in mass cleaning up this mess? Why aren't all the true Muslims turning over bin Laden, instead of supporting him and harboring him?"
Also, my prior statement, ..."Lets not go deeper than the current Muslim behavior to be the true judge of what the message of Islam is...", you took way out of context. Obviously I have proven, without doubt, that the Muslim scripture promotes the terrorist violence of 9/11. You do not agree! So be it! So I am trying to prove to you, without rehashing the disagreement (as you have thanked me for many, many time already), by Arab/Muslim current behavior, my point. I feel I already have proved my point, many, many times by Islamic scripture.
So look at the poll and the current behavior and tell me what you think! Why aren't the so called true Muslims condemning the terrorism, turning over bin Laden, if the Muslim religion is all about love and peace? Why do so many of them hate us (as evidenced by the poll) and bury there heads in the sand about everything that happened? Where is the the love and the peace in these Arab/Muslim opinions?
Your cooperation in answering these questions is appreciated, so we can all truly understand the true message of Islam.
Thanks,
Steve |
