I’m finding myself to be very angry and frustrated with the Muslims. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure no one says boo about Muslims - but meanwhile they join forces around the world and riot, kill, bomb and freak out over the slightest insult to them or their faith. And they do these things VIOLENTLY while feeding us the usual line of, “Islam is a religion of peace!” These Muslim reactions remind me of temper tantrums thrown by spoiled little kids. I’m sorry someone made a cartoon about Muhammed - but grow up already! Quit calling for bloodshed over a stupid cartoon!!
I would certainly protest if someone made a nasty cartoon of the Pope. I would even march down the street with other Catholics with a sign in my hand. But I certainly WOULD NOT call for the death of anyone or the wiping out of any culture/race as a result of an insult to my faith!!! Nor would I tolerate any Catholic who did call for such a thing! Yet the Muslim world, which is large, doesn’t say a peep - until someone from the West complains. Then they jump up and cry out, “Don’t blame all Muslims for the actions of these people who aren’t really Muslims anyway!”
When Muslims are offended they band together and call themselves “Muslims.” But the second that the Western world says, “What you are saying and doing is wrong” they suddenly start pointing fingers and saying, “But those folks aren’t Muslims.” Make up your minds already, Muslims! Either you are or you aren’t Muslim - the title does not depend on when the rest of the world gets disgusted by your actions!! Talk about wishy-washy. Will the REAL Muslims then stand up please?? I find it highly convenient to claim “They aren’t really Muslims” when Muslims are caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Either you are or you aren’t a Muslim. Quit jumping the fence and have the guts to take responsibility for what you say and what you do in the name of Islam!
I spent a lot of time on Muslim forums asking all of the hard questions. Every time I asked a question like, “Why was it ok for the Muslim man in England to slit his daughter’s throat because she was dating a Christian boy?” I was immediately told, “Oh, well, he wasn’t a real Muslim.” Meanwhile no one had once stood up and said, “This Muslim man was wrong for slitting his daughter’s throat…” No, instead they blamed The West and bashed on The West until someone from the West made them look at the CRIME that was commited. Instantly the man went from being a Muslim Man who was dealing with the evils of the West to “he’s not a Muslim man.”
How come the Muslims of the world, who are huge in number, do not band together to stop these so-called “non-Muslims” from boming and killing and rioting?? How come the Muslim leaders of the world do not join forces and make the Muslim extremists behave? How come the only time you hear a peep out of Muslim communities is when they fear backlash or want to claim “non-Muslim” status for the Muslims who have angered the world??
So, do we continue to delude ourselves that Islam is a religion of peace and that it is not a threat to us??? Or what??? How do we Catholics deal with what is happening to the world right now, thanks to Islam???
