Re: Bombing at Pakistan Park Kills at Least 32
Lajawab:
The day I read that a person like Jesus whose miracles were witnessed by thousands, whose sermons were listened by thousands and those same thousands can be made to hate him on the mere suggestion of a few rabbis, it makes me think how weak the human mind is…
The American media trained us to think about ‘radical Islam’ and ‘extremist Muslims’ as vicious killers and we believed it…I don’t underestimate the power of suggestion, especially on gullible minds…
I have always followed my own line of thinking…I can never be convinced that when thousands and millions die, it is a sign of liberation…I can not be trained to think that the Taliban who opened schools, hospitals, brought peace to an entire nation (as proven by people who lived there) can be boodthirsty killers as propagandized…
And many other examples, but I cannot be trained easily…It takes more than some images, popular opinion or subliminal propaganda to convince me that there is such a thing as ‘radical Islam’ or ‘Islamic extremists’. whoever they may be…
I just can’t seem to get it through my thick head that 150 kids snuffed out by a bunker buster is an acceptable act but beheading someone is a heinous crime…
Sorry, but I don’t buy popular opinion easily…
It was popular opinion that had Jesus crucified and that too after the same people witnessed with their own eyes the miracles and heard with their own ears the lectures he taught…Why do you think Allah :swt: lifted His blessings from them?
I am not gonna blame anyone for anything based on popular opinion, but that’s just me…
If you think ‘Islamic radicals’ did it, so be it…You are welcome to your opinion…
In 1996 then-UN Ambassador Madeleine Albright was asked by 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, in reference to years of U.S.-led economic sanctions against Iraq, “We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?” That remark caused no public outcry. In fact, in January the following year Albright was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as President Clinton’s secretary of state.
