all I said before (and am still saying) is that one has to recognize that the actions of some Muslims does not necessarily represent Islam... and that one should not generalize...
Actually, the face of Islam today is pure evil, and I will tell you why, if in fact Islam wishes to aspire to be a peaceful religion: its leaders proclaim violence, promote intolerance, persecution, hatred and murder of those of other faiths through Islamic schools. If Islam was a peaceful religion then why have its leaders yet to openly and vocally condemn the killing of innocent adherents of other faiths? Why have they not stated clearly that followers of Islam must respect those of different faiths and creeds? Why have these leaders not condemned former Iranian President Rafsanjani for threatening Israel with nuclear annihilation? Finally, why have not the leaders of Islam even once apologized to the American people - and the hundreds of other nationalities murdered on September 11 - for the heinous crime perpetrated in its name? The silence has been deafening.
Now, as for generalizing, I would strongly disagree with you on that score. Calling Nazism "evil" is an enormous generalization; nevertheless, it is a fact. By the same token, torture, murder and genocide are also evil. These are generalizations. They are also quite true. |
