Shift in Muslim thinking?

Re: Shift in Muslim thinking?

I would agree with what you say. I think that a lot of people have found this attack to be wrong and regressive for Muslim causes. I've also found that many just don’t care and are feeling apathy towards all these politics. I certainly feel that way as it seems this nonsense will never end. The militaristic western countries will keep pressing forth with more large scale military activities in Muslim nations, while isolated groups of Muslims will continue to strike back with pockets of attacks on civilian soft targets.
Really this is no longer a religious issue, but more a political and military battle of classic asymmetric warfare.
I don’t think that anyone would argue that both sides are doing things that are morally reprehensible now. From the Americans wiping out entire Afghan villages with carpet bombings, to groups of Muslims bombing buses and killing civilian.

There is a massive assymetry between the two. The Grozny massacre was done by the legitimate government of the Russian people. Elected, no less. The acts of terrorism are unsolicited, and unwelcome. One can hardly fault either Russian or Chechen civilians across the board, but let’s be honest here: the Russians are much more to blame for the acts of their government than Muslims are the acts of free-agent terrorist who act on behalf of no one but their own ideas, and are responsible to no one.

Needless to say, all governments behave much more alike than not. At lesat to the credit of Muslims, they for the most part have no say in what their government does!!!

good point.
What about East Timor and Aceh.
one can always claim that indonesian government is secular

Lastly is it just me or people over here in gupshup really like to create new threads of the same topic. I’m seeing atleast 5 topics related to london bombings.
