I do think that at times turning the other cheek is a useful strategy but with islam I strongly believe this tactic will not work
Its not a strategy I'm calling for, suggesting, or hinting at. It has no connection to anything I posted.
Not trying to insult the beliefs of a whole large group (including moderates, and those who aren't moderate but who oppose the violence and force of the Islamo-fascists), both of whoom are subject to attacks from and sometimes oppression by the Islamo-fascists), for the actions of the subset. A tiny perpetrates the violence or is closely affiliated with or orders it, or fairly directly supports it. A modest subgroup provides money or material support less directly without being part of any terrorist group or militia or repressive government. A large subset, but not the whole, endorses at least to a degree the terrorism, opprression and other violence.
What to react with military force, and also police and intelligence operations against the tiny subset? Fine. Police and intel ops against the funders of those groups? Fine. Insults and denunciation of the large group that accepts the ideas and supports the violence of the terrorists and other violent Islamofascists? Well I can see it as justified. But why attack those who are oppressed by such people? Certainly opposing such attacks, or severe insults doesn't even vaguely represent turning the other cheek.
MO islam, all of them MUST understand that they are not better humans than all others who do not believe their barbaric beliefs.
All of them? All billion to a billion and a half or so? When are you going to get all of any groups that size to share any opinion, other than perhaps "the sun is bright", or "the earth is round", and maybe not even that much.
Also thinking they are better is a reasonably common belief across all sorts of groups, from racial groups, to all major religions and most minor ones, to atheists, to political groups like conservative, liberal, libertarian, socialist/communist, etc., to people with different types of intersts, hobbies, abilities, to different sexes...
My group and its members are better than all the other groups, isn't a good type of belief, at least most of the time (its not so bad when its just pride in achievement, and when its not take to far), but it isn't going to go away any time soon.
Why is the world of so called moderate islam not protesting in streets all over the world against radicals using their religion to kill innocent people.
Some of them do protest, or even violently resist the killers and oppressors. We fight with, and fight to defend such people on a regular basis in recent years.
Iran is a islam controlled/dictated country
And you seem to be attacking the faith of not just the oppressive Imams, and the Revolutionary Guard, who control the country, but also that of those who are being oppressed, and who we would rather see control the country.
I think that any means must be used to make islam in the free world understand that if they wish to be accepted as a religion in what is left of the free world they MUST work to stop the killing and terrorism in the name of their religion.
And burning the Koran etc. does nothing of the sort. It isn't a means to the end that your talking about. At the margin in alienates people who might support fighting the killers and oppressors, and their supporters. |
