Yet that's precisely what nations like China and Russia are doing. Muslims have a right to self-determination and are fully justified in resisting oppression with force when necessary. Chinese policy strongly favors ethnic Han Chinese even though East Turkestan belongs to the Uygher people. Nearly all of the wealth and political power there is concentrated in the hands of outsiders and any attempt to separate peacefully is brutally suppressed. What other choice do we have?"fuck with us"? These are the kind of words that just fuels the fires, Kalem.
I don't buy into the moderate-extremist dichotomy because it seems to be an attempt to delegitimize any sort of armed resistance with an Islamic bent. There are resistance movements within Islam that are fully justified in what they're doing, and there are resistance movements that are deviant. I stand with those who are resisting tyranny, not those who are creating unnecessary turmoil.Either the moderate Muslims are not standing behind the extremists, or they are standing behind them. With your own words, it sounds like you are standing behind them.
