Why aren't Muslims speaking out? Options

[radhikaeatsraman]

I was having a discussion with my uncle and my father about the current situation with terrorism and the Middle East. During the discussion, I kept emphasizing that the majority of Muslims are good people and probably don't support terrorists and their actions. But then they said that they're all keeping quiet, and that by doing that, they're indirectly supporting it. By ignoring it, it's going to continue.

Then, they went on to say that in order for the terrorists to commit these acts, they need money for weapons and other equipment. Who provides it? Right after 9/11, millions of Muslims across the US were caught having connections to al-Qaeda, and many of them are in prison for it.

So why aren't "good Muslims" speaking out? Is it because of fear, or are they quietly supporting it?

I wouldn't doubt that the ratio of molesting priests is lower than the ratio of molesting teachers, yet people are calling for death to the Catholic Church, but not to education. Weird, huh?

do u have a legitimate source for this? Learn how to argue. You can't argue without facts to base your arguement on. If you try to argue without any concrete facts, people will just laugh at you.

There may be a higher ratio, i'm not gonna say one way or another cuz i wouldnt know, yet its not about numbers b/c teachers aren't supposed to take a vow to honor the Church's code, which I'm pretty sure condemns the molesting of little boys. Dont bring teachers into it anyways we're talking about priests, so you're really reaching on that one.

Just because it's their choice doesn't make it right.

I never said it was right, i just said its their choice and who are we to say whether or not its wrong? Yeah in THE BIBLE it says violence is wrong, but so wat? How can you use the standards of your religion to judge someone else, it just makes no sense.


Besides, i guess you are choosing to neglect the famous Angel of Death which god sent on the Egyptians... i'm sure most have heard of it, it was what spawned the holiday passover... so this wasn't god condemning violence? Sure it may not be written in the bible, but violence is used in christianity all the time... protestants used to kill witches in early america in the name of the bible, "heathens" and "savages" who wouldn't convert were slayed...
