South Park mocked all religions, but only Muslims are pissed.

Attacks around the world by "Radical" Muslims.

 

 

Arab-Jewish conflict.

The non-Arab Muslims in the Middle-East usually don't hate Jews and often admire Israel for having survived the Arab attacks. (Remember that all small non-Arab nations except Israel in the ME are ruled by Arab regimes.

Islam originated in the Middle east, and when most people think about Islam, they associate it with that region.  I know that at one time Pakistan (pre 1971) was the largest Muslim nation and now Indonesia enjoys that status, and neither are Arabian.  And most of the terrorists do appear to come from the ME region.

But what causes a lot of heartburn among non-Islam people is the fact that when a Fatwa comes out that is totally ridiculous, there is not an outcry of repudiation from the more peaceful areas of Islam.  Perhaps we are expecting too much from the rest of Islam.  But it would go a long way in marginalizing the terrorists if their actions were universally condemned by those that do not believe Islam is a religion of hatred and war.

An attack on a nut case Christian is not met with a "circling of the wagons" by all Christians around the nut job.  And most sects do go out of their way to condemn the actions of the nutjobs.  Islam is a relatively new religion.  It could do well to learn from those that made mistakes before it did.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, and to do so intelligently.  I find it interesting that you've listed several religions that make mention to other faiths; Judism, for example.  Both Christianity and Judism teach that the Jews are considered, for lack of a better term, clean, while Christians are unclean - they're still acceptable, however they're not the cream of the crop, so to speak.  Islam teaches that anyone who breaks the rules of their religion - such as committing murder, or drinking alcohol - is considered unclean, however they too are still welcome in Heaven should they repent.  A path to God, however twisted, is still a path in the right direction.  However, each of those religions teach that their ways are still the best ways - the true ways - despite there being other ways that are also acceptable.  Perhaps I should have chosen my words more carefully. 


Let's refine that: People suck.  Organised religion has absolutely no issues of any kind... in theory.  Once you apply the blind ambition of men and women, zealots as  they're called, things get messy.  Blaming things on religion rather the morons who twist it to meet their own ends causes more problems than is needed.


You're an example of the kind of ignorant morons mentioned in this thread.  I've reported you for creating that Account to make that post.  Grow up.

Check his profile; it says he joined way back in 2009.

Sure, but look at his activity.  Troll account, made to make posts such as the one in this thread.
