Re: Muslim Terrorist
That’s not to excuse the heinous violence these people are capable of, but there are so many people joining these movements - it can’t all be from in-born mutations of schizophrenia or violence hungry people, it’s not all violent video games, some of it may be, but a lot of it is MOTIVATED by people who feel they were wronged and want revenge. And watching their families die and friends die has made them crazy. Then you have testosterone hyped-good for nothing youth that are sitting in other countries, like the brothers involved in Boston bombings or Paris massacre, who site sympathy for war crimes as their motivating factors.
I am generally anti-war (any war, any people), but you don’t see me strapping on bombs to myself. I read the Quran, I read namaz. I ask, based on the home rap videos we saw of the Paris brothers (rapping on a street, looking like hoodlums), I doubt they even read their school books let alone the Quran.
If you read the Quran, there is a sense of fear and awe that gets struck in you and you stop and think “Have I hurt anyone?” “Was I mean to anyone today?” “Did I do any level of injustice to anyone today?”
I ask myself after reading some pages of the Quran whether that day I pissed off any patients, or co-workers, and fear God, asking to give me more patience for the next day. The Quran repeatedly tells us to not hurt other people. Not just muslims but ANYONE and EVERYONE. We are not to do injustice. And when we fight, by Muhammad’s example, if it’s a military fight, it’s done and decided on by a group of people - by a nation - not by individual crazies - and you only go down that road when all ways of existing peacefully as a population has been denied to you.
We don’t see that at all today. No one muslims population is under a genocide, no one is under foreign threat. The only threat / violence comes from these extremists on our own people. That’s not Islam. If you think it is, I feel sorry for you, but it’s honestly not.
I practice Islam, I read the Quran, and I believe it, and I’m not killing anyone, nor plan to. So yes, somewhere there has been a gross misinterpretation, and I believe, this is part of a higher plan - there are groups of people who WANT cheap muslim blood and they want to create problems and hostility and war. And it all boils down to resources.
If Christians were the dominant group in the middle east, we may see this being done to Christians misusing the bible and violence stories in the Bible to drive them to violence.
