Re: M. A. T
Oh Yeah Kaleem, What we in the west call terorism is what Uncle Osama and his nephews call Jihad, so why does it not equal terrorism. I did not see one page ads from the ummah in NYtimes and WSJ denouncing terrorism nor did I see the Ummah taking out tv ads denouncing their loved one in the the cave.
Israel on the other hands took out ads and offered condolences on innocence lost.
BTW beheading and cutting arms and beating your wives etc etc are all sort of terrorist acts prescribed in Islam. Chapter 9 talk about it.
Even now everyone who wants to better the image of Islam still cant come to grips that if Irsahd manji or Salaman Rushdie or Verizon wants to have a debate or engage in a discussion can do so. What ends up happening is lets discredit them first call them Kafirs or heathens or whatever is the adjective of the day and then we’ll have the discussion.
