Perhaps I’m just seeing things wrong, but something I noticed on this site is that often when it comes to another Muslim country’s policies or decisions, people write that it is OK, because that country is Muslim. Almost as if they would support that country’s policies, no matter how stupid or wrong, because they are “Muslim brothers.” Even more so when it comes to a question about a Muslim/Arab country vs. a Western country, the “Muslim brothers” are always right, because the infidel dogs are trying to take advantage.
Isn’t that kind of blind support rather naive and childish of people? And incredibly foolish if governments actually acted that way?

You are right, some ppl just cant figure things out for themselves.

I don't know about that, I can't generalize as much, but when Saddam invaded Kuwait and took over I don't think many Pakistanis cried as much except for the ones who were directly affected. But when Saddam was threatened and attacked by US (and allied forces??) in 1991 the 'religious' groups shouted slogans "qadam barhao Saddam ham tumharay saath hayn". That is one example I can think of when "Muslims" blindly supported another "Muslim" irrespective of what he did (policies).
The reason I can think of is probably the "past glories" that Muslims keep hearing about as well as expected 'messiah' who will restore Muslim respect and glory. So in every "Muslim" leader who shows some aggression against current powerful nations Muslims start to think of him as 'the (promised) one'.
Re: Why do Muslims blindly support fellow Muslims?
Ok, I am not a politics/history aficionado but I believe the underlying principle here is just loyalty, plain and simple. See, my brother does something stupid, but I won't cut him off and go against him, I might admonish him in private but stand wiht him in public. That's how it is for some Muslims on a larger scale. On a personal level, I might argue with other Muslims on certain subjects, but with non-Muslims, I will argue FOR our religion/politics/faith even if I have conflicted feelings abt it personally... but when it comes to specific events, thats when its hard to stand by...
Re: Why do Muslims blindly support fellow Muslims?
so thats why we are mum when one brother injures another one, a la darfur.
True, tha'ts not right.... :(
its not simple at all, but you know sometimes it goes extremely the other way, you know as well as I do that there are plenty of ppl here who hate their own Muslims/desis and will blame them for every single problem, even if they are the victims.
Re: Why do Muslims blindly support fellow Muslims?
I do not really think if Muslims really support Muslims. Yes, Muslims often support Muslims, sometimes even blindly, when the fight is against a third non-Muslim party.....or otherwise they have more crucial and bloody infightings among themselves in comparisan to any other community.
Re: Why do Muslims blindly support fellow Muslims?
Those who support muslims regardless of right or wrong are so conditioned by the islam gang. In reality there's no real brotherhood as evidenced by various past and ongoing killings bombings and mosque blasts.
Islam has become a pure money making and power grabbing racket run by the holy crowd. Their only common thread is to suspend reasoning and ape / sheep whatever the religious terrorist says god wants them to do.
That's the hard truth. Lots and lots of wise muslims understand this but can't won't do anything. Disgusting how they have corrupted whole generations of muslims around the world. If shaitan wanted to destry islam it couldn't have done a better job
Re: Why do Muslims blindly support fellow Muslims?
The cooperation required of us as Muslims includes physical and moral cooperation. The prophet (S.A.W.)
said, “Support* yourbrother* whether he is the transgressor or the transgressed. ” They said, “How can we
**support our brother if he is the transgressor? He said, *“By preventing him from transgression.” *Reported by
Imam Bukhari
Re: Why do Muslims blindly support fellow Muslims?
^ thank you! That's simply such a simple yet fantastic message.
Isn't sad that such a large number of people believe they're muslim yet do nothing to prevent transgression? By letting all the terrorism happen little do they realize that they have all become followers of devil!
That's why I say that the so called preachers of islam have done the work of the devil and no good. Can you believe they actually put out some nonsense about johad and bombing being a short cut to heaven, and heavenly harems? Buch oif perverts!
Re: Why do Muslims blindly support fellow Muslims?
Remember, our responsibilty. We must stop our brother from transgression against Muslims and no muslims. If we don't then someone else will and we are not going to like it like it is happening in the Islamic world today.

I didn't deny the hadith you posted but my point is if you want to follow Ahadith then follow all of them and not only one or two.
