Which is entirely my point Mom and POP Joe citizen doesn't spend time on google looking up tidbits about Muslims.
The message is either out there or it isn't and in this case it isn't wither or not that by design I have no idea but the average citizen the ones who are being asked to trust a religion that they see on TV as being bloody murdering bastards are not going to spend anytime investigating if they are all like that.
This is a simple truth and it is completely disingenuous for a person to suggest otherwise.
, then you came on here with this post and said the media doesn't cover it enough.
Those are two entirely different points, not even in the same ballpark.
I can totally understand why muslims would even be hesitant to speak out against this stuff, living in a society that essentially celebrates islamophobia. Not speaking out doesn't mean in favor of it, remember that. I never talk about pedophilia so one could say I don't speak out against it, doesn't mean I think it's any less disgusting than someone who shouts behind a megaphone.
,That's the opposite of your point, your original point was that muslims don't speak out enough
Dear God do I really need to take you by the hand and lead you through this its not that complicated. The Muslim community is crying that people don't understand them well its a little hard for anyone to either understand them or trust them when they have put very little effort into community outreach who's fault is that?
Where did I suggest the Media doesn't cover anybody enough? Don't put words into my mouth that are not there sport.
The Muslim community's message is hasn't risen above the noise in the background LIKE I SAID its either there or its not in this case its not. If the Muslim community is upset that people don't trust them then AS I SAID they need to step up the message.
And in case you've lived in a cave pulling stunts like that in NY with their community center is not going to ingrain good will and peaceful thoughts with the American population. Or for that matter DEMANDING that Shari law be followed in our Courts ya that's a brilliant way for promoting public acceptance.
Yes they've done such a damn fine job of allaying fears of the public and have gone out of their way to be part of our Nation haven't they. Brilliant ya......living in a society that essentially celebrates islamophobia
Why are you passing the buck in responsibility? How about accepting some yourself?
Look I'm an atheist, if there's anyone who you'd think would judge religious people it'd be someone who's anti-religion, but I don't.
You don't understand muslims, that's your problem, not theirs. It's not their job to relieve you of your ignorance. Ignorance of course, being the cause of all forms of bigotry.
Go out, interact with muslims, talk to them, you'll find all the media-created boogeyman stories are as stupid as they sound.
