I saw this headline today on Yahoo News: Arab TV exec states Muslims are responsible for Majority of Terrorism worldwide
Siege Prompts Self-Criticism in Arab Media Sat Sep 4, 9:23 AM ET By MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press Writer CAIRO, Egypt - Muslims worldwide are the main perpetrators of terrorism, a humiliating and painful truth that must be acknowledged, a prominent Arab writer and television executive wrote Saturday, as Middle East media and officials expressed horror at the bloody rebel siege of a Russian school. ********************** As I note the news around the world, it is a truth that everywhere you have battle, bloodshed and strife, you have Muslims. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Chechnya, Bosnia, Phillipines, Israel, Iraq, Iran.......Radical Muslims to be sure, but Muslims nonetheless. Now, an Arab writer and tv exec has come out and bravely said this very thing. While these radicals represent a fraction of the whole, why is it that the Muslim community doesnt do more to curtail their activities? There are huge sums of money being channeled to the terrorist cels via wealthy contributions from governments, and in some cases private individuals as a means to buy off these terrorists and hopefully allow them to direct their dastardly activities elsewhere. Muslims say that the Koran does not condone killing of innocents, but yet, it is happening and these radicals point to the Koran as their justification, saying that they are fighting a holy war, or jihad. What usually follows then, is a debate over just what constitutes a holy war, and the proper definition of prisoners of war, and what to do with them. For a look at two sides of the argument: Al Qaeda v. Koran and Using the Koran to justify beheaddings both links are from the National Review Online, a hardline conservative website....(btw, I am a hardcore Democrat) Because no one within the Muslim community will step up and stop these radicals, it is left to the world at large to counteract them, and I am afraid I forsee the Biblical Armageddon coming to pass....
