Tony Erikson Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Do you think the average Muslim knows who the extremists are ? - do you think they wear a T-shirt saying 'look, we're about to kill you' ? Shall we bring you to book for not telling us about murderers and rapists in your area ? The sooner the racists and Islamophobes stop blaming every Muslim on the planet for the actions of a few, the better we'd all be. It's the public excusing of terrorist acts in the name of Islam. See yourself and Plain Talker for examples of that. In the same way you expect Israel to criticised the same must be asked of Muslims. It's only taken them 10 years to get together. No-one is blaming every Muslim. Just pointing out that it's taken 10 years for Muslims to come together against extremism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big time Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 What excatly is a fatwa? John Prescott is a fatwa. Or something like like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFloppy Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Oh, FGS, it's been going on for years, it's just that it doesn't usually make the headlines when it's about the 99.9999 % of Muslims who aren't extremists. I've already pointed out in a previous (now closed) thread about the fatwa against terrorism that was given out by Muslim scholars. Can you prove those %'s?

I think it's more likely that you have taken 10 years to find something that proves the point many on here already knew: the majority of Muslims are against terrorism and have been declaring this regularly.

Just pointing out that it's taken 10 years for Muslims to come together against extremism. That's not true. Just about every Muslim country condemned the attacks in the immediate aftermath. Iraq alone supported it openly. Turkey contributed troops to the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. Don't you kneejerk reactionaries get tired of labelling every Muslim as a terrorist? Do you blame all US Christians for fundraising for the IRA through NORAID, fundraising that contributed to British citizens and troops being killed over here? The US turned a blind eye to all that and refused to condemn it. I think US Christian funding of the IRA has killed more people over here than Muslim terrorists have here and US Christians haven't organised a conference to condemn US funding of IRA killings over here.

I wouldn't be so naive to spend 10 years looking for something so hard to find. If muslims have been publicly condemning muslim extremists then I'm sure there's tons of evidence. I didn't write the article. I just posted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricgem2002 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 A few? let's get this right. A muslim country namely Pakistan harboured world number one terrorist Osama Bin Liner in comfort for years, the main terrorist training camps for muslim extremists are known to be in Pakistan. The US senior military officer has just stated that the Pakistani secret service are in cahoots with the terrorist organisation that recently attacked the US embassy in Kabul. And this is just one Muslim country. oh and dont forget the £850 million in aid we gave them:loopy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you posted the article means you agee with it. Don't post something and then when people point out factual errors, distance yourself from it, saying you didn't write it. You could have found those tons of evidence but didn't because you thought you'd try to prove something contrary to reality. You could have checked its accuracy before posting but didn't. You're just allying yourself to the BNP and EDL who come on here with their fascist nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear I posted the link, I have nothing to hide on that front. You're right, I'm bang the same as the EDL and BNP. Should I go for more anti-muslim to really fit in? Do you have any links to anything that muslims have done to stand against extremism in the last 10 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
