First of all, i want to tell u that i like interacting with people who respect others opinions... I know what ever i say won't change how the world looks at us but you know nothing wrong with trying right ?
As a Muslim, it pains me when someone derides Islam and my religious beliefs. It also pains me when someone derides other religions and other people’s religious beliefs. But what offends me more, much more, are the actions of the criminals who, this week, dared to use Islam to justify the cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians.
This is not about Islam or being offended by the Charlie Hebdo magazine. This is about a handful of extremists who wanted to slaughter people for any reason and at any cost. so here is an answer for you question ...NO ONE OR NO MUSLIM Condemn the killing in PAris ... The muslim extremist in France should not be or shall never be inflicted with the other problems of what is happening in the other muslim countries. An act of murder or extremism is not all accepted in a democratic society & can never be accepted in the Islam faith for killing innocent human being.
See were i grow up ... one very important word that everybody was teaching us was PEACE! you say "HI" we say "Salam Alaikom" is PEACE! so let there be PEACE in your heart and not bitter. PEACE means love your enemy, when your enemy throw you a stone, throw him back a loaf of bread. These are extremist who are brainwashed coz in my own opinion, a true MUSLIM is a peace loving person, merciful, and gentle. Killing innocent people is very wrong, CRAZY people in Islam faith is hard for me to imagine, I still believe that ISLAM is a faith of LOVE PEACE & MERCY. That is why we answer ALAIKOM SALAM back to anyone from any other religion coz we offer PEACE ( And really that's what i was thought ...)
BTW and you know what these extremist will do to someone like me right ?
Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance and mercy. It is a source of comfort and strength for more than 1.6 billion Muslims – the same people who are shocked, saddened and appalled by the events in Paris this week.
Thanks for participating in this thread..............the tone of your post is what makes many American think that American muslims can't be relied on to defend American values. Even in the aftermath of the horrible Charlie Hebdo assassinations, you defend the indefensible and refuse to condemn the condemnable. You tote the CAIR talking points of blaming the victims (and those who stand with those victims). Reaching back 400 years to make a point. You try to spin this into muslims being victimized by ignorant Christians. When in fact Muslims are victimized by their own religious zealots by geometrical factors. Your statement (highlighted in red below) is just ignorant dogma. The western world isn't the problem.
Questions for you:
Do you stand with Charlie Hebdo and their right to publish those cartoons?
Do you condemn the killings in Paris?
Do you agree there is a very large and serious problem with Islamic extremists?
Were the killings in Paris undertaken by Islamic terrorists?
In your world view, is Ayaan Hirsi a courageous spokeswoman who speaks the truth; or a traitor to your ideology and religion?
BTW, you have your logic twisted. Religions aren't hijacked by a few outsiders who project the acts of a few on the larger group. It is hijacked by the hijackers ! In this case Islamic extremists; not those who oppose the extremists.
