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?

You say I am SillaKilla? Haha. Why just because I am continuing an argument that he stopped? I can't agree with another member? If I am really SillaKilla why wouldn't I just use that account?



This argument is pointless. I am going to stop because I don't want to argue with someone who's opinion cannot be changed. You are obviously a stout Christian very devoted to your religion. You keep repeating the same things without ever addressing what I really stated. You won't even admit that there's a possibility that God doesn't exist. All you say is you know it because "you pray to him". Well, if I pray to a mythical god and I believe he responds to me that doesn't mean that he really exists. I actually am a Chrisitian too, but I am willing to accept that there may be alternative supreme beings. I don't BELIEVE that there are, I'm just open to the fact that it is possible. Let me ask you this... did you really CHOOSE to follow Christianity, or is it just the religion you were raised to follow? Be honest too, because I'm curious.


You 'warned' me? What is that supposed to mean?
