Re: Muslim Blood - Cheap Commodity by Yvonne Ridley
to those for whom religiously motivated killers are a recent phenomenon, I submit the fact that shia/sunni violence has been a Muslim feature before, during and after 9/11, and has claimed many more lives in Pakistan than any american did.
It doesnt matter that the article was written in 2005 or 2004. Shia killings spiked in Karachi in 2002 and 2003. The second excerpt you posted borderline justifies suicide bombings or atleast blames it on america and blames it on the yobs. It is as assinine a piece of writing as I've ever seen. Why not blame america for the nasheeds, she seem to find time to talk about those folks in detail.
psyah .. i dont really want to know her personally. i read one article, find it to be a naked propaganda piece, I move on.
Salam,
As muslims we need to be objective, we need to be open and give heed to the voices of others, instead of being ignorant. Quran commands us to seek the truth, yet we make no effort to seek it.
You can move on, May Allah guide us all.
Wsalam.
