Actually over the years quite a few. You will notice I said Islam and not Muslim. I know not all muslims are crazy. I'm talking about Islamic belief system in general. Also note that I pointed out specifically one group ISIS. What I have noticed over the years about Muslims is that they tend to be very devout. This is a problem if the Ideology found in Islam is flawed; and it is. It was created not by a man of peace but by a war lord and it's his intellectual property(Islam) that governs their lives. I understand that they are like all religions and have been indoctrinated since childhood. The problem is they aren't allowed to question,modernize or leave Islam.
Now here's the other problem that you didn't address,the silence of Muslim. Burn a Koran and they are out by the masses screaming to the rafters how horrible it is. Blow people up and it's crickets by comparison. To many people the silence makes it seem like they condone the actions of the few that are blowing people up. Yeah a handful come forward and say that the lunatic's "don't represent Islam" but after so many times attacked coupled with major inaction on the part of moderate Muslims, it begins to seem like they support the terrorists. There comes a time where you have to choose sides and for Muslims that time is now. Many people considered those Germans who looked away at the Nazi atrocities just as guilty as those who actively participated in the extermination of the Jews. It will be the same for Muslims.
You do realize the Muslims practice Islam right?
I dont see any silence on the part of Muslims. They decry the terrorism. You dont seem very informed.
Yes I realize they practice Islam like Christians practice Christianity and Jews practice Judaism. I also Understand the issue is complicated. My issue isn't really with the people who practice it, it's with the doctrine and it's uncompromising Imam's who put forward antiquated doctrine to be followed today. As I said before to some degree all people of religion are indoctrinated. All have some antiquated practices like stoning gays and adulterers. Christianity and Judaism have modernized because we recognize that stoning people isn't tolerable for a modern society. Not so with Islam. Islam is proud that it hasn't progressed in 1400 years and the people who keep it that way are the Imams. Their interpretation of the Koran and their failure to modernize is unacceptable. As I said before Islam the doctrine was created by a opportunistic, murdering,thieving,pedophile war lord who wanted total control, hence the doctrine reflects that personality. If Muslims can't change the doctrine or leave the cult, which they can't, then what choice do the people who follow have? Again they are a very devout people so unless the Imam's say it's OK to modernize the majority won't. Their Imam's have control like the Pope did in the middle ages. Because they can't or they won't change or assimilate we will continue to have terrorists attacks.
I said
by comparison. They were very vocal when Rev. Terry Jones threatened to burn a Koran. Had Rev Jones actually done so I have know doubt the protests would have been riots here in the USA and not just in Afghanistan. What riots do you see today by Muslims? Where are the protests? They can Obviously be vocal, well where is it? By comparison, silence. Yes I'm sure some denounced the attacks and gave the usual sound bite " ISIS does not represent Islam". Those words mean nothing to the people of Belgium today the way that they meant nothing to the people Paris,NYC,Nigeria,Turkey,London...Oh hell to many to mention here's the Wiki
