âIslam is not the problem,â proclaims the Left. And if you say otherwise, youâre a âracist,â even though âMuslimâ is not a race. Yet a fact remains: virtually all the worldâs terrorists today claim Islamic motivations. So if Islam (belief) is not the problem, are we then left with a genetic explanation for this violence? Is there something inherent in the groups generally embracing Islam â Arabs, Persians, Indonesians, Punjabis, etc. â that would account for it? And, hey, Iâm just asking; itâs the liberals who profess ideas suggesting this possibility.
Consider: When analyzing WWII and Germany, few claim the problem was Germans, but Nazism. When looking at 1917 Russia, we donât say the problem was Russians, but Marxism. So fill in the blank: when evaluating the Muslim world and its violence, do we assume the problem is the people or _____?
Then there are other explanations for Muslim violence, all of which amount to Islamsplaininâ. Poverty is one, but the Muslim world is not uniquely poor. There are many millions of poor Catholics in South America, Africa and elsewhere; and hundreds of millions of poor Hindus in India. Yet they arenât committing terrorist acts. And Osama bin Laden was worth $125 million.
Arguments of any value?
