The islam has been around for ages arguement is bogus, because hostility has been around for ages as well. What is striking is that hostility seems highest around the borders of islam. that is not coincidence. from chechnia to indonesia, to kosovo, to china, to palestine, to india, to nigeria where the muslim world comes close to another culture one thing is common, muslim's are trying to kill the other culture.
That is a radical transformation and harkens back to the early days of islam, before the great period. There is very little different in their approach to the world now when you compare it to the days immediately after Mohammed. The islam of today is charachterized not by its majority who are silent towards this worldwide trend towards war but to its activists who believe that Islam must use violence and murder to achieve its true role.
How can you defend a religon which beheads believers because they don't believe properly in their own eyes. Islam has a disease and the worst part is that on the whole their are too factions to the religion, the radicals and those afraid to confront the radicals. Arguing otherwise is like argueing that Germans during WWII weren't bad people, only a few were bad. Same exact arguement holds true for the world of Islam today. |
