chinu. you may enjoy this site. This Week in Islam Behold the Peace of Islam: Picture of the Week Weekly Column for (10/31/05) thereligionofpeace.com (Also see the newest entry to the Top Iraqi War Myths article – America is Waging a Crusade against Islam). There is no other religion on earth that has lower moral expectations of itself, yet higher expectations of others than Islam. This was very much in evidence last week by the reaction of the Muslim world to the news that the bodies of two dead terrorists in Afghanistan were burned by U.S. troops, particularly when gauged against the astonishing lack of reaction to news of other burnings. The world learned, for example, that an American civilian had been burned alive by a Muslim mob in Duluiyah, Iraq, but you won’t find a bit of sympathy or outrage on the Website of the notorious CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations). In fact, of the more than 3100 fatal Islamic terror attacks committed in the last four years, we have only seen CAIR specifically condemn 18. Regrettably, this sort of narcissistic self-absorption is the norm in the Islamic world rather than the exception. Despite the massive assistance that U.S. citizens and military alike have provided to Pakistani quake victims, for example, the talk elsewhere is only about the burning of two dead Taliban terrorists (although not much in Afghanistan, we note, where the Taliban is deeply unpopular). Compare this to the collective yawn over the murder of two temple boys in Thailand by Muslim radicals, who shot them in their beds after slitting the throat of a 76-year-old monk. These three bodies were also burned, but you won’t find any tears shed on the “Arab Street,” CAIR’s Website, or anywhere else where “there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet.” We know that there are decent Muslims whose sense of moral perspective hasn’t been fully lost to this bizarre religion, which splits humanity into two disparate factions, where the cadavers of one group are considerably more deserving than the lives of the other, but you would never know it by the exhibition of selective outrage from the likes of CAIR. (BTW: 1,152 World Trade Center families were left with no remains to bury).
