Are you stating here that it is the fault of the Muslims on this globe that those who are brainswashed by the pictures on their TV and by what the media brings in general, have come to generalize like brainless robots?
Are you stating that it is the fault of the Muslims that the media and the US president and government play the “threat card” with such a fever that is sounds as if every Muslim you may meet on the street can be out on killing every non Muslim?
Are you stating that it is the fault of the Muslims that the US president and government invaded a sovereign nation against the will of the UN and under pretexts that shifted and changed almost by the day?
And then we leave Afghanistan a bit out of the picture since that was under a “legitimacy” provided for by a (rather unstable and certainly on the Muslim side very reluctant) coalition of support and cooperation of several nations under the umbrella of the UN.
Are you stating that The World believes the joke that the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq by the USA would have taken place if the USA wouldn’t have an enormous and most vital economic interest and gain there?
Please let us stay serious.
Every Muslim with a bit of a brain knows what he/she has to think about this. Every non Muslim with a brain knows it equally.
Maybe not every US’er knows it - or wants to know it - but that is an other discussion.
So no, I don’t see any reason why for example you should ever could ask me to apologize for what any other person or organisation that wants to hijack the name “Islam” has done or shall ever do.
The same counts in my opinion for every single Muslim on this globe in whatever position he may be.
I’m so sorry.
But you may always try again.
Salaam. A
McVeigh’s action was provoked by Waco/Ruby Ridge… no connection with extremist religion?
I’ll try another analogy…
It’s like the little old lady who puts on her best hat and coat to go to chapel every Sunday in a small village outside Tunbridge Wells being asked to explain the actions of the Shankill Butchers…
Fair enough, the proportion of violent extremists seems to be far higher among Moslems but they are still a minority.
I didn’t ask you to apologize. I only hinted that there might be good reasons to apologize. Whether you want to consider those reasons and change your attitude is entirely up to you.
I guess you will never understand. As so many here said before, the only reason for your presence here is to promote your own self, not your purported religion or cultural heritage.
But in order to disappoint all the present fans of mudslinging on Islam a bit:
All these so called "Islamic " groups (and notice once again my objection to such namegiving) that act in a way no sane individual would invent, are politically motivated and use religion as one of the very useful tools to heaten the fire.
Yet, they should know themselves that this is in fact laughable since there is nothing in Islam that even slightly permits, let be remotely encourages the killing of innocents.
Oh, let me now come to a brilliant idea:
Why don’t the Western media informs them about that. Let’s say every time they bring report of such actions? Give them also notice that nobody believes that this is “ordered” by Islam?
Such things are done…
in the press inside Muslim nations.
Do you know why that happens?

I’m sorry, can you explain why I would I ever come to the lunatic idea to use a message board on the internet to “promote” myself?
Or anything?
I get the impression that Islam and Judaism are not as centralized religions as European Christianity seems to be. I wonder if the Mulahs think the way Christians and Europeans expect them to.
This may be a kind of culture war. How many muslims see themselves invaded by western media which if they resist they will here “Freedom of Speech?”
The people that wrote the Constitution didn’t know anything about television and Freudian psychology.
