Muslims: Why am I not seeing world wide or even local protests against this?

You're not "getting it," someone. The kidnappers have labeled themselves "Muslim!"

Jerry wants to know why Muslims somewhere don't call the media and say, "Just for the record, those kidnappers are NOT Muslims. They are criminals posing as followers of Islam and we don't want people to think they, in any way, represent OUR religion!"

Just ONCE!

.

I do also wonder why many Muslims have not protested in outrage concerning Islamic terror. But if an individual or a group of people were against Mohammed they are ready to protest...without hesitation. They will take to the streets of London or New York and cry out, holding up boards of hatred to 'infidels'. That is not the 'peace' they go no about.

Concerning the recent IRA incident. Protestants and Catholics marched hand in hand against it without the issue of oh don't go near that Catholic. they put it behind them for a while to march against terror. Will muslims do the same I wonder.

Muslims wonder why people do resent them so much.

>>someone>> If we 'waited' for the goverment to 'handle' things we'll never get anywhere. If we don't protest at all about things the Government will assume things are okay. Muslims don't need to protest wildly but they do need to show they care about this big issue. We have not seen it. Some Muslims always accuse people of 'bashing' them when they know they have not done a thing to help.

Why are non-Muslims not doing it instead of finding any pretext to Muslim bash on the net. Why are peace loving people from all Religions not on the streets to protest the estimated one million Muslims slaughtered in the name of WAR ON TERRORISM and as a direct result of the policies of mostly non-Muslim peace loving democracies.

Well I'm sorry but this is the first time i've hear of it, that being said is there some reason why I should have to apologize for a group of people I don't know or even have heard about? Of course taking to the streets as they do protesting teddy bears and insulting cartoon isn't very Islamic either in huge mixed groups yelling when the best way to solve there problems is by praying not by taking to the streets. Maybe according to you the muslims and the christians there should take to the streets but why does that involve all 1.8 billion muslims?????????????? I mean did all Irish, Catholic, protestant people in the world take to the streets to protest it? I don't think so and yet everyone asks us to denounce these things, we have trust me we have, I will continue to do so, and I will pray that they let them go, since murder is a sin, and Insh'Allah I pray that they will be guided to the straight path. Ameen But that isn't enough for anyone is it they want more and more they want all muslims to take to the streets to denounce 100 muslims, Thats like asking all Christians to take to the streets to protest the KKK, The Neo Nazis, the IRA, All jews, the Jewish Defense league, all Athiest for Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Tito,or all the present day communist terrorist groups. Did the Hindu's protest when the hindu's burn down churches/ mosques where were the hindu's in America when the Gujarat massacre, where were you in all your self righteousness? When are other groups going to be told what is repetedly told muslims "if you don't take to the street for a few fanatics who you know nothing about than you must be with them" hmmm it's a tad bit hypocritical if you ask me. Of course I didn't protest the Cartoons although I was greatly offended, as was I by the teddy bear but did I take to the streets then no, will I now no, will I condemn kidnapping and beheading of course. Islam came to preserve life and these terrorist have no respect for it whatsoever. That being said where was all your outrage for palestinian children, or people in Afhanistan, Iraq, Checnya, Kosovo, Bosnia, Gujarat. I mean where was the outrage over Gujarat when Hindu terrorists took a sister who was 9 months pregnant ripped her belly open ripped out her child threw it in the fire and then burned her as well. Where is the outrage at what france is doing in Mali and Niger digging for uranium giving the taureg children cancer, does one who dies from cancer die any less than one who is beheaded no it's just slower and more painful where is the outrage???????????????????????????? Of course one of the main reasons I don't is because usually these things have very little if anything to do with Islam, I mean China, Thailand, kasmir,chechnya, Palestine even, all of these are Geo-political Issues more than they are religious Issues, of course it's only muslims who are expected to give their land up freely with no fight and are expected to take what certain governments and people do to them no one else has to but Muslims. I mean we trust china that the muslims in china who are barely allowed to be Muslims are terrorist but they also claim the Dali Lama is, maybe he is. I mean let me go get a CAT and bulldoze your home, your living, you would like to be ruled by a government who is trying to wipe you out, China- No fasting allowed in Ramadan, Thailand-no jobs for muslims, Palestine JDF" GAS the ARABs". Maybe muslims are just tired of Having to take it. That being said there is no reason to kidnap redcross workers, there is no excuse for killing anyone except self defense, if someone attacks you have the right to fight back. Of course I find no justification for this group of Yahoo's actions and I condemn it and I will tell everyone I know, because as I said I knew nothing about it, and I'm sure they will condemn it, but I'm also sure you won't get your protest. I will not apologize for people I don't know who don't know me and who have never met me. Go to the mosque what do you think there is some kind of directory like catholic churches., most masjids are rather independant, Sunni, Shi'a, Sufi, etc. Run by different groups "maybe" ICNA, ISNA, Ikhwan Muslimeen, etc. But most are independant and the only one's you would find with connections to a country other than maybe Saudi arabia, and whatever is the majority in the masjid and whoever had it built would be if you belonged to a national masjid, the Indonesian muslim community, the bosniak-herzogavinan society, Turkish muslim society, etc. I didn't even really know there were that many muslims in the Phillipines I though its like 90% catholic. Ok I'm done just thought i would tell you we do condemn it will we apologize no, take to the streets probably not no one else does.

Islam is so transparent, it's laughable.

The only reason politicians continue to placate them, and say they are a religion of peace, is because they know if they don't, they will riot, and/or start a military uprising.

I say once again... they should all be glad I'm not in charge. I would have outlawed their cult a long time ago.

Edit - See "Muhamed's" response below. Case in point. Islam is a religion of peace... to everyone except people they don't like. Yeah, we already know that Muhamed. Charles Manson was a peaceful guy, to the people that he liked, too.

They are merely waiting for another picture to be drawn of mohammed, or a teddy bear named mohammed, or something along those lines before they take to the streets, but when they do they will hold the peaceful signs that state: Death to (insert whoever insulted them here), or England, prepare for your 9/11, or something peaceful like that.

The peaceful muslims are either afraid or silently agreeing with what happens, Im inclined to believe they agree with them.

I am so sick of ppl 'expecting' muslims to protest on things which should be handled by the government of the country where the injustice happened, just like they are expected to do in non-muslim situations.

Your not worried about the Red Cross workers, but simply looking for an excuse to point fingers at muslims. There are many innocent children dying in Israel and Palestine. Have you protested against the death of the non-muslim ones?

Are you protesting against kidnappings in Latin America? No? Why, aren't you a christian?

Are you protesting against the brutalities committed by UN peace corps in Africa? No? Why? Aren't you a christian?

Are you protesting against the ******** who claimed condoms in Africa would only aggravate the problem? Why? Aren't you a christian?

Are you protesting against the killings of unarmed civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq? Why? Aren't you a christian?

Are you... (I could really go on forever, but there's no point...)

islam is a religon of peace but for those who r nice.not for those who r rebals like america ,england,christians and jaids.u can see how they r killing the muslims.when they built pressure then in the responce muslims awoke.think about it.

So do you and millions of other Christians around the world take to the streets and protest whenever a Christian kidnaps someone?

Didn't think so.
