WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS! part 2 (Warning! this topic is very c
*sigh* super_joe, if you ARE so interested in peace, then why did you post such a provocative topic? I mean, you’re practically bloody well handing out invitations for a round of brickbats from both sides, and do you know why I said ‘from both sides’? Because I am a Muslim too, and I have to agree with Sadgeezer on at least one point: YOU ARE MAKING US LOOK BAD!
I mean, “we can only do so much” ?! What kind of lily-livered BS is that?! Are you implying we Muslims are such pitiful pieces of humanity we depend on others to solve our problems for us? Is that it? How about I rephrase it a bit, in other words: “WE CAN DO SO MUCH” How about that, huh? And your asking the administrators to close this forum, how cowardly can one be? Get some guts man!
Look, super_joe, try seeing it from this perspective. If your country was attacked by terrorists (who weren’t fighting in accordance with Islamic rules I might add) and many innocent people were killed, wouldn’t you be a little paranoid? To be honest, if our positions were reversed, I’d reimpose the f**king Inquisition!
The fact remains however that both sides are to blame, like in any war, whether we like it or not. You cannot point to Muslims and say, “They are innocent, it’s the fault of the Jewish Conspiracy and their Western Zionist accomplices” nor can you say, ” Innocent Israelis are being killed and the West aren’t doing anything about the Muslim warmongers who are responsible”. It is time we stop pointing fingers and start doing something. Yes, super_joe, the West has to do something, but we Muslims can do so much more. Fact: Islam is the second biggest religion in the world as well as being the fastest growing religion. This means that Islam can either destroy the world or make it a far better place. But we Muslims have to stop first. I am not saying the Palestinians have to stop their land from being taken by that bas*ard Ariel Sharon’s Israeli military (note I said Israeli, not Jewish) nor am I saying the Israelis deserve to be blown up on their way to [i]shul[/i] by a car bomb. What I [b]AM[/b] saying is that we Muslims have to show our faith by doing what Allah placed us on Earth to do in the first place, namely act as its caretakers, to protect it and its inhabitants, or have you forgotten that?
Personally, I pity you, which is what you probably really wanted in the first place. You’ve dug a hole for yourself that you can’t get out of and now that you’ve found out you’ve bitten off more than you could chew, you’re running away, and to hell with taking responsibility for your actions. And in case you’re wondering how I know you so well, let me just say that I’m also a Malaysian of Chinese Muslim descent, and that I have a few suspicions about who you are. So laying low for awhile, both from certain family members and the Sadboard is advised, the reason being in my current mood, I have no tolerance for you, because unlike you, I’m [b]proud[/b] to be Muslim.
