Re: Non-Desi View on Ummah post 9/11
MV, but that is exactly my point, u came here and took the views of some people here as representation of ALL muslims. I came here and, like u, am also shocked at some of the views expressed here but they r still individual views and hardly representative.
As a minority group I think people appreciate the individual a lot more than the majority, I know that the BNP does not represent all white people nor do the evangilical right, y should some ignorant vocal people represent a fifth of the world? I have no hesitation in saying that there are elements in the muslim community, particularly young lazy ill mannered hotheads who need a good slap at the very least but that does not excuse generalisations you make based on these.
The problem with a quote you give is it has an equal quote ready from the 'other side', we need to move beyond that.
