That awkward feeling, you get when you see people fighting for “innocent americans” and forgetting their own innocent brothers and sisters in faith. When they forget that people show their anger not against an individual but against the whole nation that individual belongs to. And they forget that if by having 1-2 americans getting killed in consulates siege (which is indeed sad and should not have happened) when life of all “real muslims” living in USA becomes difficult how is that country “good for muslims” and how is it rationale thinking of its citizens? How about hundreds, and thousands, even hundreds of thousands innocent muslims being killed around the globe by this same country, USA, that doesn’t make the life of “real muslims” living in USA any difficult?
And they take every incident in isolation, conveniently ignoring the big picture, the global happenings and the mood of the masses, and the reasons behind it all. Picking up incidents one by one, condemning the already condemned and making their cause look more baseless. Portraying them as uncivilized wild creature that is out to kill the civilized ones, and ruin the lives of “real muslims” living in the west.
When the charge of killing of 2 americans can be leveled against the whole muslim umma living in “non-western countries”, why cannot same logic be applied and charge of killing hundreds of thousands of innocent muslims around the world can be leveled against the whole American nation to be specific and whole western world in general? And don’t forget the unimaginable difference in number of “innocent” people getting killed, there is no yardstick for that, it seems.
Even more awkward when such irrational rant comes from our more learned and sane members.
