of course they werent if im correct true muslims wouldnt even consider taking this kind of action
That's the horror of people using islam to control people, and to create zealots to do evil for them. just the other day someone was telling me why islam is bad and they all want to kill jews and hate us, ugh it's was sick to listen to so i put him in his place. he didn't believe me, but I wasn't going to sit there and listen to someone condem a religion based around peace just becuase 0.000001% of muslims would ever do a violent action in their life.
Without getting into forum banning territory, I'll just say this. It's the leaders of men, the men themself that do evil. And using religion to do something evil does not make the region evil. I know lots of people of every creed and religion and they are all swell people.
We live in an world with evil hiding in it's cracks, and sadly it's never going to go away. But lets try our best to be above that shall we?
What amazes me is the memory issue....Or memory lapse to be specific....
By that I mean, that we all know the US role in liberating Libya recently. Its very recent history. Without the US, Gaddafi would still be in charge.
Mohammed, on the other hand, lived from 570 to 672AD. That's a very long time ago. No one can say for sure or certainty that all things stated about this person in the modern world are factual, simply because there is no way to prove any of it.
For that reason, the Islamic reaction to the Bacile film, is totally unreasonable and out of proportion. It would be simpler and smarter for the Muslims to refute what Bacile said in the film, because it cannot be proven in any way. Further, the recent memory of the US help in liberating Libya should mean something and be given respect.
But the Muslims chose to play right into Bacile's hands by responding in the way his film suggests they would - with violence based on 1300 year old rhetoric.
Muslims were at one stage some of the smartest folks in the world. They gave us mathematics, astronomy and complex architecture. Now, we note them more for destruction and the massacre of innocents and it really does not need to be this way.
